One of the best part of lunch bunch is the casual conversations the children have with one another as they eat in small groups. One of the gifts we can give our children is the freedom to express their ideas in a safe environment and question and seek answers without fear. It was amazing to be the listener in this conversation which just materialized as they were chatting with one another.
"God made moms to make people," said Zack.
"Who was the first one who had the first mom?" responded Dylan.
"Our mommy's mom. God made moms and dads so that moms could make us so we could be alive." said Zack.
"I know God made people, cuz people come out of moms' bellies."
Dylan continued to question and wonder... How could mommies be little babies, then who would be in the belly?
Zack said, "Moms and dads are kids to some people."
WOW is all one could say.
Double wow. What amazing things happen when you truly listen to children.
