Hi Bon, Your post prompted me to write a 50 word Friday response –
Breaking the Vicious Cycle
She hated math.
I said, “We’re going to play math.”
One hour later she said, “I can do this all day!”
Next day she said, “I think I have underestimated my ability.”
She told me, “You should be famous because you make math fun.”
Best compliment ever. My heart smiled!
Thanks so much, Sue. That’s a wonderful one! So I felt compelled to respond with another heart smiling 50 Word Friday response.
