Listen To Your Child

Interrupting is rude, son.
But Daddy….
Not one more word. Understand? 
Stern look.
Child asks, “What if….”
I MEAN IT!
So five-year-old child sits politely beside window
Watching as hijackers steal their family’s blue Chrysler Caravan.

I always get irritated when people push away a child; they have so much more knowledge than we will ever have again.
