Little kids are just so naturally nice to each other. Have you noticed that? And if you wanna see a little slice of Heaven on Earth, just put some of them together in a room with a big toy box and no adults. It’s the picture of perfection. And it’s the reason I wrote a little kids song about how well they get along. … Read the rest…
