The teacher has become the student.
Today’s theme day at school was Hawaiian Day. My wife’s plan involved a floral scarf tied around my daughter in the style of a toga. Because she’s gone for her job before my daughter gets up, I was on toga duty.
I was not a quick learner. I practiced unsuccessfully making the wrap three or four times and then had to ask my wife to do it three or four times.
This morning, I was up for the challenge.
I had played the wrap’s moves in my mind all night long. I pulled it off in one try.
When I picked my daughter up from school, the scarf was in her bag. I don’t know when she took it off, but I really didn’t care. I had passed my exam for the day.
I will be saving this example for the next time Cat struggles with something. My effort was good enough for her to wear the skirt to school with pride.
