Kids are Copycats
So, we better serve as good role models
The little boy was one and a half,
pulling his puppy toy,
in the backyard garden.
He saw Mommy working
in the garden,
staking the nasturtium vines,
with mulberry stalks.
Next, Mommy saw something
funny and amazing.
The little boy, barefoot,
holding a stalk,
trying to stake a vine too.
Mommy was impressed,
she knew kids are copycats.
she saw it now.
So, we must act
as good role models,
or our children will copy our flaws
and make a messy world.
Let us be source of inspiration.
You see, little souls,
are watching our actions.

Unofficial Challenge: What would you do if you were rich?
I love the kind of work I get to do in my career, but as I job search and browse apartments again due to another understaffed and unsustainable work environment that I did not intend to get into, my daydreams of better days consistently lean into the same question: What would I do if I didn't have to worry about my basic needs being met?

You are so right with this one for little ones are like little sponges of everything seen and heard. Good job.
