You know the story of the Little Red Hen... where the hen tries to get others to help her, but everyone is always too "busy" to do so. So she takes on the tasks all on her own. When it finally comes time to reap the rewards of her labor, suddenly everyone's schedules have been freed up. Well, back in 2015 sometime, my house was turning into that story book. And C1, especially, was turning into the other farm animals. Amazingly my mom always knows exactly what we need. She promptly mailed us a copy of The Little Red Hen to read. I was so excited to sit down and read it to C1. I couldn't wait for him to have that light bulb moment and to start being more helpful around the house. C1 and I sat down to read the book. As we were getting to the very end of the story it read something like this...
{The Little Red Hen asked, "Who will help me eat the bread?". And the Dog and the Pig and the Cow all excitedly shouted that they would. "No you won't said the Little Red Hen!" shaking her head."}
And to my surprise C1 responded, "How Rude! She should share her bread with others!" Remember, beauty isn't the only thing that is in the eye of the beholder, so are life lessons.
