The naivety of boys and girls leads them to consider everything and to say and ask things that we don’t know why but hadn’t occurred to us even though they seem obvious. Who hasn’t known what to answer when a child asks “why is water wet?”
PueIt’s a question asked by a 7-year-old British boycalled Tom, has gone viral on Twitter, where he accumulates more than 228.000 likes, over 26,000 retweets and hundreds of replies. The question has been uploaded by the tweeter @GameofThrowIns with the following heading: “Bloody hell, Tom. I don’t need this now.”
“Do crabs think people walk sideways?” wonders little Tom in a text that appears painted on a wall that could be from a school. A question that he has left many adults unanswered.
