Maybe She Really Does Listen

"Momma, is it time?"

"HHMMM?" I'm distracted by the political news I'm reading online.

"Is it time to say sorry for crying like a baby?"

I look up from my screen to see Grace looking at me with an earnest look on her face. Evidentially, things did not go so well at home while I was at "Miss 'Nette's" for bible study.

Furthermore, I didn't really ask for details. I figured they could work it out themselves. But at supper we did talk about telling people we were sorry when we had been bad or done something wrong.

Maybe she really listened.
