On Determination


 I like the center piece how about you?

My neighbour has 3 young children. The little 3 year old boy was looking very upset.  His mom said his older sisters (ages 6 and 8) kept beating him in their bicycle race.  I thought they could let him win sometimes but their mom didn't think it was a good idea.  She said when he goes to school the other kids will not favour him like that, he has to learn the reality.  

So the past few days I have seen the little boy on his bike speeding down the sidewalk, so focused with his grandpa watching from behind.  I would say he is determined to win a race on his own!  This gives me such a chuckle too!

  1. Edge piece: chewy without only gooiness. Love the boy's race with his grandpa. How wonderful! Linda in Kansas

  2. I also like the middle piece best and that's right, but I would let him win too * wink * because he still has enough of the seriousness of life ahead of him!

  5. My vote goes for the edge piece - and for the gritty little boy on his bike.

  6. Oh, the center is best, but I have been know to dip the corner ones in my coffee too. That's great about the boy on the bicycle. Now days, its like parents want them on 3 wheelers. I wonder if they'll ever learn the old fashioned way.

  8. That is a very smart mom, letting her child face reality.

  9. I think the edges are easier to hold and eat, but I'll take either.

  13. We can't always win and that gives you more reason to try harder.

    letting a kid win just to win does more harm then good, the world doesnt work that way
