NAUGHTY OR NICE
And just like that...an astute child reopened my mind to continue to think outside the box. We had an impromptu discussion after my book reading of Carradice Christmas Chronicles about niceness, naughtiness, and the possible built-in biases of the Christmas “lists”. So this bright baby grabbed the mic from me and with great confidence and clarity of thought let me know that he didn’t think either list existed. He said we all have the capability of being naughty and nice ...good and bad but we can ALSO make a choice to be redeemed if we veer away from that which is questionable, bad, or wrong. He (Darrien) sparked off a whole conversation about being redeemed and what’s redeemable! MAN…I am still amazed at the depth of these thoughts by KIDS!! And it was I who received the gift of a repurposed, reimagined world for every boy and girl on their terms and it was well with my soul!! Ayyeee….Ase’ that way as my nephew Benjamin Divine loves to say.
