Wow

My daughter never ceases to amaze me. I won't go into details, but she did the right thing when she didn't think anybody was watching. There was no concern about peer pressure, or hurting someone's feelings, she just did what needed to be done. She decided to remain pure in her conversation and her actions and made it clear with her friends that she wasn't compromising. I found out about it after the fact and told her what I thought she should do, and she had already done it. Nipped it in the bud. Wow.

Seeds in My Head

I was playing basketball with my children the other day (daycare children), and one of them was upset because he could not make the ball go in the basket. I sat him down and told him that very soon he would be tall enough and he would be able to make it in all by himself. That seemed to please him. He went and played on some other toys, but I noticed he kept rubbing the top of his head. I asked him what he was doing, was he OK? He said he was feeling for seeds. I said, "What do you mean?" His reply: "I have to have seeds in my head if I'm going to grow."
