This week's theme on the Thursday Writers Post is "Innocence"
How do you convey innocence? I thought I would do that through quotes, stories and pictures on children as I think they truly encapsulate the meaning of innocence.
So here are some quotes I found that I thought convey that childlike innocence:
Some years ago when my son was very young, we were watching Mary Poppins just a few days before my daughter's birthday. She was not a very tidy kid and her room looked more like a war zone than a bedroom. My son suddenly turned to me and said, "I think we should get Mary Poppins (as in the person not the movie) for her birthday". Thankfully she grew up to be a fairly tidy person.
When my daughter was in primary school, she handed me a letter from the school one day. The student's name read: firstname Aurora lastname. I told her we would have to write to the school and tell them they had made a mistake but she looked at me and said "Everyone has a middle name except me. So I told them mine was Aurora". She had named herself after Princess Aurora in the Sleeping Beauty.
And these are moments I will never forget.
Enjoy your day.
Warm Regards

“In their innocence, very young children know themselves to be light and love. If we will allow them, they can teach us to see ourselves the same way. ” ~ Michael Jackson
“No matter what happens, always keep your childhood innocence. It's the most important thing.” ~Federico Fellini
“The child's naive dream of life is the only one worth having.” ~ Marty Rubin

My dad never had a middle name so we named him Norton. Teehee.
