A conversation with Tyler about a bird.



We were walking Gizmo and saw a bird with a dead worm hanging out of his mouth. We both agreed that that was pretty gross. I said "Aren't you glad you are not a bird? I wouldn't want to have to eat worms." Tyler said " If I was a bird I wouldn't mind eating worms and I'd get to fly!"

There's a lesson here somewhere... look at the positive? Think about what is important? Be content with your lot? or maybe if you have to eat a worm you might as well enjoy it? Either way it was one of the many times my children have taught me something. Now maybe I can use this against him the next time he doesn't want to eat his dinner.
