Like a child

Yesterday some relatives came, including two kids; one is around 7 and the other is 9 years old. It was in the evening so there are mosquitoes in the living room. The adults were complaining about the nuisance and trying to kill the mosquitoes.

For the kids, they saw it as an occasion for fun! They were squealing and jumping all over the place trying to see who kills the most mosquitoes. The house were filled with laughter and energy.

What a contrast to the adults! Of course, either outlooks did the mosquitoes any good, but it's the way the children reacts to a situation. Adults see only gloom, irritation and fear, while the kids had a whale of a fun time.

Maybe it's time we adults see the world in the eyes of the child; once in awhile :)
