@vanderjames : Kids have your back. Don’t get me wrong - they challenge and exhaust you in ways that seem tailor-made to press your most carefully concealed buttons with surgical precision... but they’re also rooting for you. And supporting you in ways I’m convinced we’ll never be able to quantify. A friend of mine’s father once told him: “Babies come with a bundle of bread under each arm” (meaning they bring their own prosperity), and I can attest to that... but I feel like it goes even deeper. For all the care, love, protection and hard work you put into their well-being, it’s like they’re secretly working on you in some mystical fashion, injecting emotional and spiritual energy where you need it most. Maybe it’s all in their own self-interest, since they’re helplessly dependent on you for a number of years... but I’ll take it. In fact, I think we need it. #MondayMusings
