We were getting ready to go to the store, when 'D' realized that his shorts were dirty. He does not like to be dirty, hands, shirt, anything. This being to much for him to handle, he dissolved into tears thinking that he may have to go to the store, in his words, naked.
As he was crying, I suggested to him that he could just get a clean pair of shorts out of his drawer.
He immediately stopped crying, laughed, and ran to his room to get his new shorts.
I love that in a single statement to my children, I can change their outlook on life.
I hope that my influence lasts.

We always leave a lasting influence on our kids; good, bad and sometimes both. You get an A+++++++++ in the good department!
Keep up the great work!
