Sometimes we don’t give kids enough credit for how they can see the world with such a unique perspective.
Children may not know as much as most adults, but they seem to have a clarity about things that most adults lose over time.
While we as adults squabble over minor details, kids have the ability to focus on finding the most simple solutions.
Few people understand this more than teachers, who have a daily front-row seat for kids coming up with some of the funniest and most creative ways to look at all topics.
Here are a couple of jokes in which teachers ask their students a question and get unexpected answers.
TEACHER: Maria, go to the map and find North America.
MARIA: Here it is.
TEACHER: Correct. Now class, who discovered America?
CLASS: Maria.
