After a vacation of 5 days my daughter who is five obviously does not want to go to school. She cries and throws a tantrum and well not go for a bath. So I push her into the bathroom roughly and brush her teeth and give her a wash and get her ready. She  keeps calling for her mother in hope of a rescue. In the end she gets ready and goes to school. I get home to receive her from the bus and the first thing she says to me is "Daddy, i did not behave well in the morning . ". And she went on with the other things like taking her bath eating lunch etc. It hit me. That simple statement made so much sense. It was not an admission of guilt. She just stated a fact. Kids are lovely like that. They don't know right or wrong. They know what happened. And that it probably irritated daddy. So she just told me. If only all of  this world  could be so straight forward the world will be a better place. We have so much to learn from children and we foolishly think we have to teach them.
