I'm Blessed, Not Brave

Hi Dr. Laura:

Today, a complete stranger asked my almost three year old daughter if she goes to school.  It's not an unreasonable question, because at this age just about all of her friends are in some sort of "school" environment.  I sat quietly, looking at my daughter, wondering if she would even answer the question.  To my amazement, she responded word for word:  "You're so silly.  I don't go to day care.  I'm home with mommy."

Although I was a little surprised with her phrase "I'm home" (since we are rarely ever home) I was extremely proud.  The woman who asked her the question said "your mom must be very brave."  Brave?  More like "blessed."  Blessed to have my priorities straight when there are so many confused adults out there.
