Today my son was hanging out with the neighbor girls and playing in their vegetable garden. He picked a cucumber off one of the vines and started eating it. Just like that, didn’t peal it, slice it, chop it, or anything. He just started chowing on it like it was an apple.
And, hey, why not? My kids are constantly doing that for me: showing me new ways of thinking about the world. I often have to actively, consciously stop myself from saying, “hey, don’t do that. That’s not the way you’re supposed to do that.”
Because, really, why not?
