Out of the mouths of babes . . . . . . . etc.

These two anecdotes illustrate the awareness that many children have which most adults cannot recall:
- I once saw a child and his mother on TV. He was about 7 years old and was suffering acutely from some extremely painful affliction - from memory it was arthritis - and the program was about the affliction, not spirituality. At one point, when the mother was carrying on about the pain her son was enduring etc. he just looked up at her and said, quite matter-of-factly, 'Mum, I will be in this body for only a short time more.' or words to that effect.
- Yesterday, during an interview about her life, when she was chatting about her 18 year old daughter a woman said, 'When she was four she said to me, '"I waited a long time for this. I waited a long time for you to have me."'
