When I was young, I believed that people were generally honest and loyal. Boy was I in for a rude awakening!!!

First, what are you calling a child? Second, I'll assume you mean 18 and under. There are many things that I know now that I didn't know then. I know my spouse. I know my dog. I know a little calculus and physics. I know a bit of electronics. I know how it feels when you grab a spark plug wire. By the way, that is something you don't want to know. I know how to change a baby's diaper. I know how bad it hurts when you lift the back passenger side tire off the ground while it is attached to the pick-up because someone wasn't smart enough to wait for help.

I thought that being a grown up would be fun but childhood was the best. At least I have 5 kids so my hubby and I can act as young as we want!

That life is so complicated sometimes that to find the root of a problem, you have to dig deep, sometimes very deep to find the cause. Many people don't take the time to do that so there's never any understanding, therefore, no solution.

I was wondering how things got separated to liquid and solids when everything went into the same place (stomach).

That the TV will send you commercials indescriminately - I remember buying Oreos and wondering, 'why do they keep playing Oreos commercials? We bought the Oreos already!'

That complete altruism does not exist. No human action is ever taken unless the person is in some way rewarded himself.
