Judgment

Yesterday, while watching Katie, Sarah, Grady and my boys, Katie suggested that I might not be in touch as a mother (my words, not hers) when I insisted that she wear a helmet while riding her bike.

It is funny how a four-year-old can make you question your judgment, no matter how confident you felt only a few minutes before. (It was true that several of the other kids were riding without their helmets.)

Later in the day I asked the kids to do something, and I heard Katie say to Owen, “Let’s listen to your mom, because moms have really good ideas.  Especially your mom.”

Now who would question the judgment of that four-year-old?
