When I started
my light moment Fridays, at first I wondered if I would be able to find
material that would make it worth it. Turns out our 4 year old son has all the
material we need, as he is just so funny and comes up with the most witty and
unexpected things.
The other day I
heard his dad scolding him for wetting up the bathroom. I could not believe
what he said next – “Do unto others.........thyself.” You know the Golden rule,
“Do unto others as you would like them do unto you? Well he
apparently could not remember all of it but it was still impacting. I could not believe he was actually
saying this and thought I probably heard wrong. He repeated it and for sure
that was what he said and it was used in the proper context. I could not help
but laugh. His Dad said to me later, "see how your son is chastising me.
I guess he is
just reminding his Dad that if he himself does not want to be scolded, he
should not scold others. Another teachable moment, I dare say, from the school
of ethical and practical living, administered by our son.
How do children
too often become the subject of abuse. You ‘gotta’ love them
