Thread: The Wisdom of Grandchildren

This morning, the following conversation took place in the kitchen between me and my four-year-old grandson:

Grandson(GS): Grandpa, this is ketchup.
Grandpa(GP): No, it's strawberry jam.
GS: It's ketchup.
GP: See this picture? It's a strawberry.
GS: (Pointing at Golden Arches) It's from McDonald's. It's ketchup.
GP: Open the little packet up and taste it.
GS: (Opens and tastes a little) I think it's ketchup.
GP: It's still strawberry. What are you doing now?
GS: (Squeezing tube into kitchen trash) Throwing the strawberry in the trash.
GP: You need to wash your hands. They're dirty.
GS: They're not dirty. They're clean. They're only dirty from Cheetos.
