What a beautiful moment you’ve captured. The little guy coming to his father’s rescue. And the Dad gratefully accepting his son’s help.
Thanks, Susannah. This wouldn’t have registered a blip on most people’s radar. But then, you aren’t most people, thank goodness!

I love to watch little kids. They’re like a science all their own. How they relate to a world they’ve just met. It’s always a wonder to me. 🙂

The kid was like “I gotchou!” . . . I love that.
There is a spirited innocence to a child’s reaction to anything out of the ordinary. They tend to lean into it rather than fight it, and from that place of innocence they pluck out the answers to the questions.
Love this piece.

You’re a dad so, I know you could lecture on fatherhood.
Love the word pluck. To have pluck and bluster like a knight or one of your heroes while plucking your guitar.

It’s been a time, that’s for sure.
Yes, it’s that double barreled effect that makes the word so much fun.

I know. Pluck. They said Bobby Kennedy had pluck. A gallant word for swagger I think. He loved reciting the St. Crispin’s Speech from Henry V to his kids, with bluster and pluck, i believe is how it was described. I want to have pluck too. I guess either you do or you don’t.

I think you can find pluck, I do. It’s not necessarily something you’re born with. I think I borrow pluck when I’m down a quart or two. 🙂

To bad Amazon didn’t sell it. Could you imagine? We’d resurrect the 3 Musketeers and then some. I always had the hots for D’Artagan. 🙂

Little kids learn by example so I would say the kid has a good daddy who is raising a good son.

That’s certainly how it seemed. Must be awesome to be a father. To see yourself in miniature.

Kids just want to be useful and needed. It’s funny that the desire develops so early but maybe because they’re so helpless at the beginning, but it’s always great to see their joy.
