Our world has plenty of knowledge and education, but not much wisdom.

Wisdom can often be learned from the fairly uneducated. Take children for instance.

Patrick, age 10 “Never trust a dog to watch your food.”

Michael, age 14 “When your dad is mad and asks you, ‘Do I look stupid?’ don’t answer him.” Michael also said, “Never tell your mom her diet’s not working.”

• Randy, 9 years “Stay away from prunes.”

• Lauren, age 9 “Felt markers are not good to use as lipstick.”

Joel, 10 years old “Don’t pick on your sister when she’s holding a baseball bat.” and

• Eileen, age 8 says, “Never try to baptize a cat.”
