You make it sound like your boys (4 & 2) are one “BIG BOYS”…lol…(hope that is not another presumption) and you know what, anytime I read your write-ups where you make mention of your home, you make me paint a picture of what I want my home to be like in my heart. lol..
You’ve indeed been a blessing, and thanks for being one.

If only we can learn to accept people the way God wanted, we would be halfway close to heaven’s gate

@Asifa – LOL!!! Kids say the absolutely funniest things sometimes don’t they? Working daily on not letting any biases cloud my thinking… cos you just never know where/when that might happen lol! Thanks a lot Asifa!

True!!! We should not let our biases cloud our thinking. But LOL to ‘”Mummy! My brother’s a boy – Can he be a girl when he’s 20″?

Bomi thanks for sharing this. it’s amazing how we can glean lessons from the little little everyday happenings around us. i particularly like the part where you talked about our being quick to listen but taking time to process what we hear. ive fallen victim of that a number of times and have come to see how much damage our pressumptions and biases can do to our relationships. Thanks Bomi.

Thank you very much SonofPhilip! Appreciate you taking the time to read and comment. You are so right! May God help us (and may we help ourselves) to wipe our glasses clean of bias regularly! Thanks SofP!

this was wonderful again. we usually see the world thru our bias-tinted glasses and read a thousand and one meanings into innocent words, nuances and all that.

i wonder if we can all return to the innocence we had as little kids. and to parents, lets allow our kids to be kids and enjoy their childhood, its the best time of their lives.

thanks Bomi, another lovely read

Amina – Thank you! Good to know this was helpful… I think we all need a lesson in patience and being “slow to speak” from time to time! So you are definitely not alone. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment.

Anietie, your words made me laugh, isn’t it funny how sometimes we realize how silly our actions are, after the fact? I think it’s great that we can laugh at ourselves lol. Thank God for the gift of laughter, right? And also for second (and 3rd, 4th…) chances. You are very welcome Anietie, thank you very much for reading and sharing your experience too.

I read this post and it made me smile and got me thinking of the many times I blew off steam for no reason at all and ended up laughing many hours later because of how red i had turned.
Thank you so much for reminding me to relax when I hear anything.

I think someone just needs a sister in the house. Nice how you teased out the lesson of biases. Thanks for sharing.
