Cost benefit


The girl and I went for pedicures last night. I love sitting up there in the high chair with our feet in warm blue water, catching up with my girl. She was telling me about a person she works with, who is a micro manager and constantly hovering to make sure tasks get done. Some people find this hard to deal with, but my daughter reflected, "I guess she doesn't bother me because I'm still at a stage in my work life where I have a lot to learn, and besides, I don't mind reassuring her that things are getting done." To which I said, "See, that's the benefit of having had to manage the mother you have." She was kind enough to laugh.

    Your daughter seems to be most charitable toward the world. It's a wonderful trait.
