One day, during a lesson on evolution, a teacher was explaining concepts to her class. To drive her point home, she approached a young boy and began a dialogue intended to challenge the students’ beliefs.
As the conversation unfolded, a 6-year-old girl sitting nearby couldn’t stay silent. What she said next left everyone in the classroom stunned, delivering a powerful and unanticipated response that showed wisdom beyond her years.
Sometimes, the youngest voices can provide the most profound insights.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a minute later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That’s my point. We can’t see God because he isn’t there. He doesn’t exist.
That’s when the little girl raised her hand and asked the teacher if she could pose some questions to the boy. The teacher then gave the girl permission.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yesssssssss (getting tired of the questions by this time).
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssssssss.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No.
LITTLE GIRL: Then, according to what we were taught in the school today…she must not have one!!
LOL! How perfect is that?! She really showed her teacher!
