I’m so impressed with how these parents handled a very tricky situation with their son. I only hope some day to have the patience, quick thinking, and just an overall ability to handle a situation like that. (Oh, and to be able to say what the Dad did without wanting to haul off and hit the bully! That, too!)
And the maturity and grace of their 10-year old is surely proof that they are doing an incredible job with him.

Isn’t it astounding to think there are some things our kids will never have the pleasure of knowing or using – like cassette tapes, VCRs, window cranks, live television, pay phones.
We did have the pleasure of playing with a pay phone over the weekend, however. Two, in fact. These old British phonebooths are tucked in a little courtyard near where we had lunch. The girls found them fascinating.

How cool is this?
You rang?
There is a phone in here…with a cord!
Hello?
Uh…huh. Yep.
Sometimes it is the little things. And this is why I always have my camera with me.
