But I Really STINK!

I love working with kids...just yesterday I had a little one looking upset on the playground. I went over and asked if everything was OK. He quickly responded "yeah...NO!" When I asked him what had happened he replied, "I'm just really bad at being 'it!'" We all remember the fastest runners are always the best at playing tag and being "it" on the playground...I wasn't good either. SO, while I went into a long in depth explanation of how bad I was at LOTS of things, he looks me straight in the eye and says, "BUT I REALLY STINK!!"

I just loved the sincerity of it all, especially the way he just stopped me dead in my tracks to let me know that his problem was obviously much bigger than I had thought! Silly me...what a cutie. It's something new everyday...that's why I love this job!
