Favorite Memory trigger! For (me!) -writeousmom..
I will never tire of having this memory triggered... So, -extra grateful for the bag of hand-me-down clothes sent from our cousins in southern California to my niece..
They are another family of faith as you can see from this top with a bible passage.. But! Oh! -the passage itself brings an INSTANT smile to my face..
When was it? I'm not sure if my son was in 1st or 2nd grade? -but please see him very young, those big earnest blue eyes.. That dimple.. A very high level of sincerity..
We were on our way back from school when he told me that some kid had been kicking and hitting him at recess..
I silently plotted a vengeful visit of roman proportion to said child's home.. While outwardly remaining calm
"What did you do?... How did you handle that?"
"I kicked and hit him back... -because that's the golden rule.."
I said, "how is THAT the golden rule?!"
He said, -so innocently; so sincerely; so confident..
"Do unto others as they have done unto you."
***
Still makes me laugh... Always will.. A true treasure...
