Princess, Kari and I recently went to watch a family member perform in a band. The event was ok. Nothing to really talk or write about except we are proud of our little cousin. At his age (13), we didn't really expect a Beethoven-quality performance or should we?
After the performance, we were making our way to the car when we past a golf cart and Kari's curiosity kicked it. I love it when he is curious especially about things that are not entirely dangerous. His curiosity gives me a chance to explore. Besides, I make it my duty to teach him that anything is possible - all he has to do is (1) Ask - if (the thing is) in control/ownership of another (2) Negotiate/Take - if owner is being difficult (3)Explore/Research - if thing initially seems impossible to attain (4) Create/Invent - if the thing doesn't already exist (5)Enjoy - all that effort should be enjoyed.
Every day I am reminded of the awesome responsibility I have of grooming a future man. A man who is respectful to God, family and all life; contributes in a positive to society; and who makes girls drool.
I appreciate that even a simple golf cart ride can be used to teach life lessons to my son.
