[Discussion with Caleb at the theater last night having difficulty keeping his hands to himself.]
Mom: Caleb, please don't touch other people. Don't touch their hats or their clothes or their chairs or their skin. Keep your hands in your own space.
Caleb (6): What about their scabs?
Alison Moore Smith is a 61-year-old entrepreneur who graduated from BYU in 1987. She has been (very happily) married to Samuel M. Smith for 40 years. They are parents of six incredible children and grandparents to two astounding grandsons. She is the author of The 7 Success Habits of Homeschoolers.
As soon as I stop laughing I’ll figure out how to respond to this.
I’m sure you realize the terrific metaphoric value of this. Oh, the innocence of children. In fact, I’d much rather have people touch just about anything of mine except my scabs. Metaphorically speaking. Just you leave my scabs alone. I’ll pick at them myself. I’ve noticed others are this way too. In fact they wouldn’t be “scabs”, they would have long since healed and become faded scars if they’d just been LEFT ALONE!
Speaking of what children say. My three year old granddaughter has learned the difference between boys and girls(I’m not sure how). anyway we quiz her a lot everywhere, people she knows, doesn’t know, in the store, doesn’t matter. “Is that a boy or a girl?” And she’s right 95% of the time. EXCEPt for her best friend who is a boy, only she insists he is a girl. WHy? “BEcuase he is jus like me.”
Ooo daisy you made this have some deep meaning! I was laughing and grossed out all at once.
Isn’t that funny about her friend? So interesting how they think!
eww…but no eww.
So, Alison, you think i read to0 much into this????? lol. I see everthing as a metaphor. I think the physical world always mimics the spiritual challenges we face. I’m convinced God made the physical world that way on purpose.
No, daisy, I just think you’re way smarter than I am!
