Tried to Avert My Ears
During our long cuddle and talk times today, Sophia and I discussed many topics. One of my favorite nuggets from the day had to do with the topic of how greater freedom brings greater responsibility. I was giving her a bunch of hypotheticals (which she just LOVES) and she was sharing about different situations she’s been in with other children her age. In one retelling she told me:
“I tried to avert my ears, Mom.”
And I thought to myself, “What a fun turn of phrase. And a wise choice.”
