“Point of View”

How we view it and how they view it is quite often two different things. You thought you were encouraging and helpful and they, well conversation with a second grader.  Me, “How did the weekend go?” “What did you do?” Second grader, “Well we had two ballgames Saturday.” Me, “Well how did that go?” Second grader, “Well we lost both of them.” Me, “Sorry, that happens sometimes.” Second grader, “Well we didn’t practice all week so they just yelled at us a lot and expected us to win.”
