Sometimes, children can be so smart that it surprises us! The following joke is a brilliant example:
An atheist was sitting next to a little girl on a plane, when he turned and said to her: “Do you want to talk? Flights usually go quicker if you start a conversation with your fellow passenger.”
The girl, who had just begun reading her book, asked the total stranger, “What would you like to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” replied the atheist. “How about why there's no God, or no Heaven or Hell, nor life after death?” while he smiled smugly.
“Okay,” the little girl said. “Those could be interesting issues but first let me ask you a question. A horse, a cow, and a deer eat the same food – grass. However, a deer excretes little pellets, though a cow turns out a flat patty and a horse produces clumps. Why do you think that is?”
The atheist, visibly surprised by her intelligence, thought about it and said, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”
Then, the little girl replied, “Do you feel you're qualified to discuss God, Heaven, and Hell, and life after death, since you don’t know crap?”
And the girl went back to reading her book.
