Reading from a text file to object list (GUI programming c#)

Question

I am trying to read information from a text file into a list of objects and I am wondering if this is the correct way to go about it, I would really appreciate any assistance the text file layout is as follows:

children.txt:

1. Bodkin Van Horn,02/03/2015,likes arts and crafts,
2. Hoos-Foos,03/04/2014,likes kittens,
3. Snimm,04/05/2013,scared of the dark,

The code is as follows:

class:

class Child
    {
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string dob { get; set; }
        public string fact { get; set; }
        public Child(string n, string d, string f)
        {
            this.name = n;
            this.dob = d;
            this.fact = f;
        }
    }

text file function:

//Open file dialog (open file/read in file)
        private void openToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            try
            {
                //created an instance of openfiledialog so we can select a file to open
                OpenFileDialog od = new OpenFileDialog();
                //this will invoke the dialog
                od.ShowDialog();
                //this will be the initial directory when we click open
                od.InitialDirectory = "C:\\";
                //we set the restore dir to so when we click open nxt time 
                //it will be the same dir we browsed last time 
                od.RestoreDirectory = true;
                //this is to store the file name we want to open 
                string file = od.FileName;
                //creates an instance of filestream so we can stream our file.
                //here we passed the file namestored in the string file and the granted permissions
                FileStream fr = new FileStream(file, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
                //We created created obj of streamReader class and passed obj of fileStream
                StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fr);
                //we created one more string and stored the text of our file
                string line;
                List<Child> childList = new List<Child>();
                while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
                {
                    string[] words = line.Split(',');
                    childList.Add(new Child(words[0], words[1], words[2]));
                }

                fr.Close();
                sr.Close();

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Error" + ex);
            }
        }
