Understanding Children

"Sometimes we forget that children have just arrived on the earth. They are a little like aliens, coming into beings as bundles of energy and pure potential, here on some exploratory mission and they are just trying to learn what it means to be human. For some reason Dennis and I reached out into the universe and found each other. Never really know how or why. And discovered that I can love an alien and he can love a creature. And thats weird enough for both of us."
From the movie Martian Child (2007).
This is written in the book that David the adoptive father writes about his adopted son who thinks has come from Mars. A must see movie.
