Wow that’s cute and bittersweet.
Just remember, parents, it goes the opposite way too. Sometimes a kid has real talent, but lack of encouragement doesn’t push us to cultivate it. Kids pick up on what you say, or don’t say, more than a lot of parents realize.
I used to read through history and so frequently I would wonder things like “how did these serfs just put up with this for so long?”
I no longer wonder these things.
