Kids certainly have a wonderful way of looking at our world. With their unique observations and blatant innocence, they never fail to surprise us. Whether answering at school, at home, or out and about in the world, these kids and their take on instructions are hilarious. None of them are wrong, technically, but I don't think they qualify as right, either...
