THIS IS HOW WE LEARN
by John SkippSome people will do anything to avoid tense situations. I am not one of those people. It has always been my goal to meet problems directly. With equal force, in balanced measure. At least for starters.
Then we take it from there.
So when Jamie asks me to hold baby Matthias, I am happy to do so. He’s my littlest nephew. A beautiful boy. Six months old, with giant eyes, all senses awakening. A joy to behold.
He doesn’t know what anything is yet, but he’s grabbing onto everything he can, sticking it in his mouth every chance he gets. Giving his new universe the taste test. I completely understand. This is how we learn.
But as I hold him to my chest, bounce him up and down and snuggle him, he decides that my earlobe is the world’s most interesting thing.
