learns about the world, humorous. This picture probably catches a child's funny misperception or unusual inquiry of their surroundings. Perhaps wearing a colander as a hat, trying to "drink" from a television remote, or trying to have a chat with a houseplant, the picture might show a toddler engaging with an everyday object in a somewhat unusual way. Completely oblivious of the humorous aspect of their activities, the child's attitude would probably be one of great seriousness and focus. The photographer has captured the contrast between the child's sincere inquiry and the ridiculousness of the circumstances from an adult standpoint, therefore freezing this moment of innocent discovery. This picture is a lovely reminder of the wonder and curiosity youngsters approach the world with free from preconceptions of how things "should" be used or understood. This kind of picture not only makes one laugh but also makes one consider the essence of education and the need of keeping curiosity and open attitude to experimentation. The picture probably speaks to viewers, bringing back memories of their own childhood discoveries or similar events seen in their own children, therefore honoring the special and sometimes funny way small children view and interact with their surroundings.
