Define Bus.

Kids these days are very advance.. they discover how to use and play cellphones and PSPs even before learning how to read. But one thing that really fascinates me about kids is that they see things differently. Last sunday, i was at the car with 2 of my cousin’s kids and they were talking. I was barely listening at their conversation because i’m using my ipod but here’s what i heard..

Kuya: Asan na yung sasakyan nina tito?

Bunso: Ayun sa likod ng bus.

Kuya: Ano yung bus?

Bunso: Bus, yung malaking sasakyan na sinasakyan ng maraming tao.

Kuya: Aah..

her definition of bus made me smile. It’s so simple but concrete(in a way). i was thinking.. if that kid asked me the meaning of bus, i might have given him bus company names.. but that would even confuse him more, right? well, here’s what i’m trying to point out.. kids define things the way they see it, they don’t based it from a book or whatever. I hope sometimes we, grown-ups can do the same thing. We are the one who complicates things which are naturally simple and easy. If we could just immitate a child and try looking things at the most simple and practical way. stress-related problems will surely decrease.
