I broke my childrens’ hearts today! The hubby and I decided to have “the talk” with our kids about EVERYTHING that is going on in the world today. We made the decision to hold off for as long as we could. We wanted to preserve their innocence and not tarnish how they see the world…because to them, it is without flaws. Not anymore! While Syd didn’t quite have the time to sit still long enough to discuss the conversation, Pooh Bear was all over it. She was hanging on to every word and putting two and two together. You see, the Alexa’s we have in the house show news topics. In passing, she saw George Floyd’s name appear constantly. She also likes to create her own emoji’s on her iPad. One of the emoji’s added a sign for her to hold, “Black Lives Matter.” She texted the emoji to me grinning from ear to ear because to her, it was “cute.” I could see the wheels in her head spinning as we shared all that we had semi-prepared. She was getting it. I am proud of both of my girls. Despite everything, they took it all in strides. I pray God covers them…and this world!
