"... and I think that is kind."

Anyone else hear this on morning edition this morning:

   Driving to work this morning, I found myself tearing up at the sweetness of this well-spoken girl.  I--a 22 year old woman--cannot express myself as well as 8 1/2 year old "Popcorn."  She has clearly been raised to be a very verbal, aware, and polite little person.  My favorite moment is when she says, "... and I think that is kind."
   Kids can be so bratty--manipulative, greedy, rude--and it's not their fault; they're being introduced to the entire world and experiencing an overload of sensory stimuli.  Nor it is the parent's.  This girl, however, from what little we glean about her in this three minute clip, speaks with the honesty of a child and the fluency of someone twice, nay, three times her age.  And that element is what makes this story so wholly touching, I believe.
