Today, by chance, I ran across something my youngest had written when he was 9 years old (the first part is a quote he used):
""When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that his fingers other fingers are pointing at himself." by Louis Nizer
This sentence tells me that if you blame someone else, you are telling everyone that you did it. You should take responsibility for your actions. If you don't, you're a liar. Even if it's a minor incident, you should take responsibility for your actions. Even if you get away with it, you're a liar."
Reading this opened my eyes again to how wise our children really are and that they do understand so much more than we sometimes give them credit for. It is a good reminder that wisdom is everywhere and is not tied to age necessarily. Pearls of wisdom can come out of a 9 year old's 'mouth' too. :)
