Yesterday, the kids & I were in the truck driving somewhere. Faith mentioned something factual that Hosanna was unaware of, so she corrected her little sister (as all 9-year-old big sisters do).
Faith then explained the rest of the story to Hosanna, and she realized that she was wrong. So, she admitted it.
No, really... She did!
Maybe that's no big deal where you live, but I can't remember the last time I heard someone say those 3 words together.
Discerning a teachable moment (as any parent would), I told Hosanna how proud I was of her for admitting that she was wrong, that even most adults have a hard time admitting when they're wrong, & that her doing so told me that she was becoming more and more grown up.
Just before I could fully enjoy the shot of parental pride I was feeling, Faith shot out, "Yeah! Especially or Hosanna!"
Teachable moment #2, welcome to the conversation.
