As I've mentioned before, I'm always surprised by how Liam thinks the world works. Like - clothes get clean when they go down the laundry chute.
His innocence helps me see the world differently. On our drive to school, through downtown, we usually pass the same homeless man panhandling on the same corner. This morning, as we passed him, Liam said, "There's that man, Mommy. He's having picnic."
I wish I could save him from knowing how tough the world can be but on the other hand, I'd like him to be grateful for all our blessings and opportunities. I hope I can find the right words to explain the world to him when the time comes.
