Kids tell the truth

Whatever kids say, it’s just ugly truthy and unbiased most of the times and although adults may get mad at them, I find that kind of thinking unique and valuable, I just love it. The more we grow older, the harder it is for us to say the truth because we always worry of all responsibilities come with it or mind how people think about the way we say. For kids, they just simply say what they think. Surrounded by kids, I am always inspired to be real and to be original. And interesting enough, adults get stuck at responding to whatever kids say other than nodding from inside. I learnt a lot from my cousin, he is someone who values the truth and he is young enough to stay true with what he believes in. One time, I lost my key and I thought I am so absent minded while he told “you are just irresponsible” and till now I am still thinking about this fact. Another time, I was hesitating to cross by a car that is coming and he again yelled at me “it’s kinda dum to walk in front of the car and you are 26”. When we went for cherry picking which turned out to be peach picking and he might just accidentally eat the peach he picked or he just made it up a joke by complaining at me “why do you eat my peach”. I answered him that “I am not sure”. He then used it to tell me “You are 26 and you are not sure about anything”. He just literally revealed all ugly truth or whatever I just keep it for myself inside. He was just slapping on my faces to wake me up and to stop me from running away of the truths. Sometimes, in the middle of the conversations, kids might just throw out some random thoughts which make some adults sweat cause it’s just so insightful. We tend to not take kids’ opinion into considerations but those are the best. If you are in the middle of the fence, ask kids, they’ll give you authentic answers. Gods send them to tell us the truths.
