Who is your role model?

We often hear kids saying things like, “well my daddy is the best at this!” or “my mom makes the best cookies ever! Or “when I grow up I want to be a pig farmer when I grow up because that is what my dad is!” As a preschool teacher at church I got my fair share of knowing what mom and dads were the best! One kid didn’t like the color green because her dad doesn’t like the color green. However, it is amazing how we see this changing as the kids grow older. Not only do they no longer brag about their parents but sometimes we come as close as to actually putting down our parents. It is no longer cool to agree with your parents. It is no longer cool to ever do anything with your parents. But eventually (hopefully) we grow out of this stage too. We then get to a stage where we begin to realize that yes our parents aren’t perfect and no they haven’t possibly made always the best choices but man! They have given a lot up for us!           ...
