A number of Primary Schools were doing a project on "The Sea." Kids were asked to draw pictures or write about their experiences. Teachers got together to compare the results and put together some of the comments. Here are some of them -- the funny ones. The kids were all between 5 and 8 years old...
1. "If you are surrounded by sea you are an Island. If you don't have sea all round you, you are in continent. -- Wayne, age 7
2. "I think sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend any more." -- Kylie age 6
3. "A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its head." -- Billy, age 8
4. "When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes, when the wind didn't blow, the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would be better off eating beans." -- William, age 7
5. "I like mermaids. They are beautiful, and I like their shiny tails. How do mermaids get pregnant?" -- Helen, age 6
6. "Some fish are dangerous. Jelly fish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves into chargers." -- Christopher, age 7
7. "On holiday my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was going very fast. She says she won't do it again because water shot up her fanny." -- Julie, age 7

Those are so cute!

I have one to add. When my boys were very young, we lived in Guam, which is a rather small island surrounded by lots of ocean. So to them any water bigger than a puddle was ocean. Which was kind of funny when we were back stateside and they called a stock tank or a pond "ocean"!

Don't you love how the mind works when the world is still new?
