For A
Good Laugh…
This past
Tuesday, my great-nephew (BK) and his cousin (RS) (respectively 7 and 9 years of
age) were riding in the back seat on the way home from spending time after
school together, having had quite the fun time.
As usual, no matter where they are together, eventually someone must go
home. This usually leads to some form of
a meltdown for whichever one must leave. On this day RS was having to go
home.
To keep this
in perspective, several days earlier BK had gotten in trouble about something and
was upset with me. Instead of having a
full-blown meltdown, he left the room and went to his Nana’s room. Several minutes later I went in to check on
him and he was laying across her bed but had calmed himself down. I told him how very proud I was of him that
he had chosen to control his temper instead of allowing it to control him. Of course, he loved the encouragement!
Now, back to
the back-seat conversation. As RS
continued to be upset BK decided to share his 7-year-old wisdom with him.The conversation went something like this;
BK: I’m going to tell you how to control your
temper when you get mad.
RS: Looks at him like, “What?”
BK: When you get mad, run into your room and SLAM
your face on your bed!
RS: Still
looking at him like, “What?”
BK: Really!
It will knock some sense into you!
Of course, I
was laughing to myself so hard I’m sure they had to have noticed. And I’m confident that RS left the car that
day still thinking “What”?
Proverbs
25:28 (MSG)
A person without self-control is like a house with its doors and windows knocked out.
A person without self-control is like a house with its doors and windows knocked out.
Have a great
week and remember, take time to laugh!
His,
Vickie
