the question not asked

I learned many years ago, that the question not asked is the dumb question.

So I am grateful for the "adults" that are with kids, that when they have a question to ask, allow them to. I issue a Wheel Chair and Crutches. ( Not at the same time.) Kids (sometimes (rarely) adults) as questions.  I have my standard "quick" answers. If the "adult" with child is open to me talking too, I go into a tad more detail.

I have learned to not take it to personal when parents do not let the kids talk to me. I ow that i them that doesn't want to know .

Where do we loose our insouciance? Are we discouraged, or is it a learned thing from the adults in our life? Maybe we can relearn it from the kids .. we just have to be to be open to it...

So I ask ya. watch the kids around you.. and just see if you can find that insouciance lost so long ago.
