10 Scientific Inner Workings of a Child's Brain

by Jill Smokler on September 4, 2012 at 1:46 PM

Sometimes, I am convinced that I'm psychic. No, I don't play the lottery and win or know with certainty who will win the Presidential election. I do, however, posses the gift of being able to predict, with 98 percent accuracy, exactly what will come out of my children's mouths at any given time. Amazing, right?!

Here's a peek inside ...

1. I'm hungry. Can I have a snack?

2. I'm bored. Can I play a computer game?

3. I want to rest. Can I watch a show?

4. I want someone else to play with. Can I have a friend over?

5. MOMMY!!!!! He's annoying me.

6. MOMMY!!!!! She's annoying me.

7. My stomach hurts. What can I eat?

8. Can I play on your iPhone?

9. My stomach really hurts. When's dinner?

10. MOMMY!!! What can I do now?

Does every parent have this magic ability? What's in YOUR child's head?

    This isnt a magic ability... This is parenting. And kids are predictable. Your not any one special because you know what is going to come out of their kids face...

    I dont care for #8 #2 and #3, why do we let our kids stare at a screen when there are wonders to discover in the great outdoors?
