Yesterday at school Ben showed a different side than I have ever seen. One moment Justin, 5, is playing calmly with the stacking blocks. In walks dad and he turns into a screaming hysterical mess. I scowl in the recesses as Ms. Soltice moves in to handle the outburst. As the obviously embarassed dad tries unsucessfully to apease his demonic child, I arrogantly think of my "superior" parenting skills. Amid the cyclone of flying styrofoam blocks Ben waddles over to Justin and starts stoking his back saying "ok?" "ok?" Justin smiles and stops crying for a minute, we all laugh.
I am so much older than my little guy but yesterday he showed me that I can learn a thing or two from him too.
