Did you know that the average 40 year old adult laughs about 8 times a week
and the average 6 year old child laughs about 400 times a week?
If there were 8 days in a week instead of 7, adults would probably call the 8th day "More Work Day" and kids would probably call the 8th day
FUNDAY!!!

Paula and Peter Imafidon are just like any other 9-year-olds. They love laughing, playing on the computer and fighting with each other. What sets these twins apart from their peers, though, is that they are about to enter high school and make British history as the youngest kids to ever do so.
Paula and Peter, also known as the "Wonder Twins," surprised educators a year ago when they aced University of Cambridge's advanced mathematics exam. They are the youngest students to ever pass the test.
The future little scholars' father, Chris, and mother, Ann, came to Britain from Nigeria more than 30 years ago and have actually not surprised that Paula and Peter did so well because with their three older children are also whiz kids.
Paula and Peter's older sister ~ Anne-Marie ~ is now 20, but at age 13, she won a British government scholarship to take undergraduate courses at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
Christiana, 17, their other sister, is the youngest student ever to study at the undergraduate level in any British University at the age of 11.
The twins other sister, Samantha, now 12, passed two rigorous high school–level mathematics and statistics exams at the age of 6. She helped the twins to pass their own math secondary school test when they were also 6.
Even with all of this, their proud dad says his is not a genius family.
He said his kids participate in the Excellence in Education program for disadvantaged inner-city youth. "Every child is a genius," he said.
Paula wants to be a math teacher, while Peter wants to be prime minister of England one day.
All it takes is a dream...and a village!
