Today I was talking to my parents about my day. About this man who was really rude to me and how I politely handled it. Not realizing my sweet child was paying attention. She said mommy, I know what, you could get something to put on his mouth so he wouldn't be rude to you. I said well... I could but, even though he was mean we still have to be nice. God does not want us to be rude just because someone else is. She said "oh yeah because he would be sad, right? I said "yes he would." He is happy when we are nice to people, even when people are rude to us. She smiled, and understood.
Having these teachable moments to instill into a child something positive she can take into her adulthood ... Is priceless.
