Just When You Think...

Just when you think that you must be raising a wild animal instead of a child they go and do something that makes you step back and wonder...

Yesterday as I arrived home from work Kai greeted me at the door and pulled a wadded up plastic bag from his pocket. Thrusting it toward me he said, "Dad. Dad. Look what I saved you from my play group today." Through the clear plastic bag I noticed a single rather mangled piece of red licorice. He stood there beaming as I accepted his playgroup spoils. I later found out that he had carefully guarded this loot for me all day - even putting off a tantilizing offer from his older sister to trade it for some Jolly Ranchers. Thanks buddy.
