Kids have a literal mindedness that is sometimes amusing, other times lethal. I present the two extremes:My little nephew recently sunk to the bottom of a pool, much to the surprise and alarm of everyone concerned. He swims perfectly well - at swimming lessons – but he wasn’t at swimming lessons so, blub, blub, blub. I hasten to add that he was well supervised and instantly fished out. Amusing.
Pictured here is the literal mindedness that’s going to result in the sinking of a credit rating.
My godson was told by his mother to take some sticky tabs and highlight the pages that contained something he might like for Christmas, to help make mummy’s choices easier.
If you look closely, you can see that some of the tabs are actually two or three deep. Lethal.
despite being literal minded at least kids are honest. I can ask Eva whether she likes something or wants something or nay and I always get an immediate and truthful answer because she doesn't think too deeply on the subject. It seems today that I am entirely against deep thinking.
