A Lesson In Not Assuming Someone's Motives

We're sitting at the kitchen table. Seth's got a plate of sliced apples in front of him. He’s slowing down on his snack and I ask him,

"Seth, can I have one of your apples?"

He considers this a minute, then slips me the smallest one on his plate.

Slightly amused at his selfishness, I take it and bite into my apple slice.

We sit there quietly chewing, and then he says,

"Mom, I gave you the small one....because you’re skinny."

Bless his little heart.
