A Child’s View of the World
Kids can say the strangest things, but they can also say some of the most awesome ones that serve practical purposes.
While adults often just grin and bear the annoying aspects of existence, chalking these up to “c’est la vie,” children’s unique view of the world enables them to devise creative (and surprisingly simple) ways to get around a lot of things. For the most part, these kids use the resources that are already existing around them to build something new that everybody can benefit from. Check out some of the most clever inventions by children.
