It's All in the Name

I'm thinking you might not have named your child correctly when you're yelling, "Angel you almost choked your brother with a gummy bear."

One afternoon I stepped onto a mostly empty train. There was a lady several feet away from me with two small children. The older child was an adorable little boy with a sweet face whom I guessed was maybe four years old. The younger child looked around 18 months - 2 years.

The mother was a young lady who seemed frazzled and was trying to comfort the fussy baby while balancing a large sack of food. The older boy, Angel, was mischievous and friendly and seemed to enjoy himself on the train ride.

​I smiled at the little boy and then turned my attention to the book I'd brought. That is, until I heard the mother admonish Angel for shoving gummy bears into his brother's mouth.

The impish grin on the little boy's face hinted that maybe Angel was no Angel. Good luck, Mom. That precious little boy is going to keep you on your toes for years to come!
