I am thankful for...5 year old kindness.
Here is a conversation Luke and I had about a little girl in his class.
Luke: "I say nice things to Christina when other people say mean things to her. I make her feel good. It makes me feel happy....like going to the funeral home."
Me: "the funeral home??"
Luke: "No, I mean the nursing home. Like when we go to the nursing home. It makes me feel happy. You know. I make Christina happy. And I play with her at school." (Pause) "But I'm not her girlfriend or anything."
Me (chuckling): "No, you are definitely NOT her girlfriend."
Luke (seriously): "No."
I was very proud of Luke for being kind to Christina when others weren't (even though he made it clear he was not her girlfriend).
I think we can all learn from him.
