Kids

So, the other day at work I had two 2nd graders who were on the playground complaining to me that they were bored and had no one to play with. I suggested that they play with each other. That wasn't an acceptable idea cause one was a girl and one was a boy and for the most part boys and girls dont play together in 2nd grade. ;)

After that failed idea, I suggested that they go think together and answer a question for me. I asked them to go solve the problem of world peace. How can we attain world peace in our lifetime? I was expecting them to look at me and say "huh?" or give me a "thats a ridiculous idea" look. But they didn't. They looked at me, looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and said "ok."

So, they took off together and in less than 2 minutes they were back. "Miss Sara, we answered your question. We solved the problem of world peace."
"oh did you?" I asked. "What would that be?" expecting some nonsense answer (I know - shame on me... kids are smarter than we think)
Their response:
"There will be peace when Jesus comes back and touches the world."

I told them they were brilliant! And after putting their heads together and solving all the world's problems, they were now ok with running off and playing with each other.
