I think this has something to do with the innocence of children, "Turtle woke up in one of those sweet, eye-rubbing moods that kids must know by instinct as a means of saving the human species from extinction." It is difficult to know the exact context of this but I think it has to do with children having the ability to start a day with renewal. Children are willing to give a new day a chance without letting yesterday's baggage immediately drag them down.
