15 Stories Proving That You’ll Never Be Bored With a Child

Children are not just a joy for their parents, but they’re also little representatives of humanity who can think beyond stereotypes. That’s why their actions and sayings are so necessary at times. They help us remember that life is an exciting game full of humor.

At Bright Side, we love the ingenuousness of children because it provides us with many reasons to laugh along with unexpected wisdom.

• Some time ago, I noticed that my sixth graders began to use perfume. This surprised me, but I thought that the scent of different perfume was better than the scent of dirty socks, for example.
