Kids corner, By Ellese Elliot

Speaker 1: Aliens!
Speaker 2: Where?
Speaker 1: Out there!
Speaker 3 : Ewwww gross   
Speaker 2 : Yuk! They have gunge implanted into their top parts!
Speaker 1: And holes in their bodies - You can see their insides.
Speaker 3: Eeeewwwwwwwww. Disgusting!
Speaker 2: Don't look Speaker 1 and Speaker 3.
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2 They're putting some weird stuff into their holes.
Speaker 3: Ewwww! Why do you think they're doing that?
Speaker 2: Probably so no one can see their hideous insides!


All: Ha ha ha . Ah Ha ha ha!

Speaker 3: But look - they do seem to be smart, in a backward type of way.
Speaker 2: How?
Speaker 3: Well they are building massive things to live in, which are millions of times bigger than they are to-
Speaker 1: To-
Speaker 3: To destroy themselves!
Speaker 2: Do you think they are doing it because they are so gross?
Speaker 1 and 2: Ha ha ha.
Speaker 2: But it's quite beautiful, in a ugly, dark kind of way.
Speaker 1: Meh (shrugs).
Speaker 2: A life that strives towards its own death.
Speaker 3: Poetic speaker 2.
Speaker 2: Thank you speaker 3.
Speaker 1: Maybe they think death is better.
Speaker 2: I don't see what all the rage is about. I've died a few times- it aint all it's cracked up to be.
Speaker 3: Look at them - making such complicated stuff to do something that is so simple.
Speaker 1: Ha ha- how stupid...

End thoughts:

What do you think aliens would think about us if they visited our planet? Do you think our view of aliens is limited by our minds or the fact that we haven't seen them? Do you think we are so used to our own ways that we label other things alien when they are really just like us? There is a long history of encounters with the unknown and we tend to judge before we understand. But let us try to understand before we judge.
