It's one of those things you strive for. You spend countless hours teaching them about right and wrong. How to treat others, how to treat others that may be "different" than you.
I got a call from one of her teachers today, who wanted to relate a conversation that she overheard between Moobear and Rodriguez, one of her classmates. After a moments panic, I realized that Moobear hadn't done anything wrong, and I was curious at why she would call me.
There is a child there, I'll call him "C". C is one of Moobears best male friends. C is a bit overweight. Following me so far? Rodriguez (think of him as the class bully) came up to him and said "Ooooh, there's the kid who took one step and broke the whole world!"
Moobear got in his face and replied, "Obviously, you don't read. Don't you know you aren't supposed to judge a book by it's cover?"
Is she quick or what? See, they do listen to us.
Pardon me while I bask in one of those mushy "I'm so dayum proud of her" moments.
