So, About Those Manners...

Just as I was praising Ryan's good manners, I overheard the following exchange between Ryan and Mike:

Note:  Mike hadn't seen Ryan awake in days because of his work, school, and medic ride-along schedule.  He wanted to give Ryan a small token gift to remind him how much Daddy loves and misses him.  The following conversation took place around 5 a.m. when Ryan awoke to discover a Lightening McQueen Matchbox race car that Daddy had left by his pillow to surprise him. 

Ryan:  "What's this, Daddy?"
Daddy:  "I got you Lightening McQueen."
Ryan:  "Where's Mater?"
Daddy:  "I only got you McQueen."
Ryan:  "Go put your clothes on and get me Mater."

It serves me right for bragging.  I believe Scripture warns that pride cometh before the fall!

  1. Maybe Ryan is testing Daddy and wants him to teach by example the joy of serving.
