Lessons You Learned From Children

It all comes out in the wash

Most of what I learned from my children was to re-learn what I automatically knew as a child. First, don’t discriminate. Not only against people, but against outfits, hairstyles and food choices for breakfast. Second, get over it quickly. My children have forgiving spirits and are quick to forgive my transgressions. Third, and the most important, stay loyal to the ones you love. We cannot give or be everything others expect. I fall short of the mark and so do my children.

Remember as the old folks used to say: It will come out in the wash. That includes the baby formula on your favorite dress, the crayon on the wall and the big dent in your car. That’s what I’ve learned.
