The Logic Of A Two-Year-Old

Our two-year-old grandson, Quinn, is a very intelligent little boy, too bright for comfort sometimes; his favourite word is "Why?" His reasoning skills outstrip his maturity and lead to naughtiness born of frustration. Quinn thought it quite reasonable that when handing over the correct change for his train magazine, he should keep some of it himself, as it is good to share. His Mummy insists he shares his toys and sweeties with other children, so why shouldn’t the cashier share the money with him? That young man has quite a lot to learn about commerce!

The other day Quinn was refusing to clean his teeth and his mother was remonstrating with him. Cheerfully Quinn said, "Well Mummy you had better ask the Lord Jesus to make me a good boy!" With gritted teeth our daughter, Nikki, offered up a less than reverent prayer, and the little monkey complied with a smug look on his cheeky little face!

Quinn has a great line in challenging questions; at present he has an interest in astronomy and can point out the galaxies, which is far more than this old granny can do! When his harassed Mummy is getting him ready for playgroup the last thing she wants to do is explain why he can’t see Mars in daylight! "Ask Daddy when he gets home from work", was the cop out response! Nikki is still working on his latest question. "How do you know Jesus is there when you can’t see him?" The answer will have to be ingenious if is the make logical sense to this two-year-old!
