The Black Dot

What do you see?

When you are given 
A blank white paper
With a black dot in the centre

Do you see the black dot
or the white space that occupies
more than half of it

The black dot represents 
unhappiness

Most people
will see the black dot
and dwell on it

How many will see the white?

Proud of my kids

The bigger boy
Went up to him
With a smirk on his face
And said
"Hi Shortie"

The smaller boy
Looked up at him
With a glint in his eyes
And said
"Hi Tall-y"

The smaller boy
Skipped away
The bigger boy
Slumped


That was how J8 dealt with the situation in school today.  I bet the older boy was shocked at his response. I am so proud of J8! 

She saw it lying there
The latest gadget in white
She couldn't believe 
Someone would leave it behind

It was the iPhone(!)
My goodness! Was it real? 
That was definitely on her wish list
But she had to do what was right

She brought it to the Lost & Found 

J11 found a iPhone in the ladies' room in school today. I was proud that she knew what to do.
