Sep 19th, 2008 | By David Rothwell | Category: Learning from ChildrenLearning from Children
Children are extremely opinionated, and not at all afraid to show it!
In fact, they will often deliberately provoke an argument to get their opinion across.
"Whatever …"
Daddy (47) and Charlie (5) are getting out of the car and going inside the front door of the house.
A pigeon is cooing somewhere in the background.
Charlie: "Is that an owl hooting Daddy?"
Daddy: "No Charlie, it's a pigeon"
Charlie: "No it's not, it's an owl !"
Daddy: "Whatever Charlie, whatever…"
