I was observing a lesson on what makes us human, and enjoyed the following gems during a lovely philosophical discussion on the difference between humans and animals.
Trainee Teacher: what do I mean by morality?
year 7 child: Is it like, like the opposite of immorality?
Trainee Teacher: Yes! absolutely! And what's that?
year 7 child: well, it's like, immorality means you can't die, so I guess morality is when you die?
and...
Little Somalian Child: "Nah, nah, humans and animals both travel the world, not just humans. Like in Kenya and Tanzania, when the wildebeast travel, they go to Kenya in the summer, and then back to Tanzania in the winter, and I used to watch it every new years, on BBC1"
