All the picture books to be crafted around these situations! You were a child doing what made all the sense. I've thought a lot about childhood instances of finding myself "in trouble" from an authority figure for doing something I either believed was exactly right or at least logical, as you said — or something I would have no way of knowing it wasn't OK.

Hmm... I need to remember all this now that our grandkid (and his mama) have been living here for almost a year! And thanks for your comment about picture books about this. You'd think I'd figure that out. I'll give that some thought!

Ahh....the 'logic' thing, which also leads us into knowing we are 'right'....which sometimes leads us into some painful places indeed. Life is very complex!

Yes, indeed. That ego needs to be right. And if everyone else could open their eyes, see the truth, and change immediately, then, hmm... I could rule the world or something?
