Humbling Words from a 3 Year Old

Turning grumpiness into laughter

Tonight my three year old said to me Mum it’s ok just have a laugh The grump in you will disappear you’ll see

That’s exactly what happened as soon as she spoke Cleared expectations of being mum to share the joke

Releasing energy stuck in the land of what if Back into the moment of now Sparked by humble words my children gift

Thank you Diana C. for this week’s prompt of humbleness…and also from your reference to the words coming from the wisdom of kids. Smiling because the universe had already given me the exact example only moments before.

This Week's Prompt: 3-9.08

Good morning/afternoon/evening, now and forever! A new exciting week in Know Thyself family is starting, with new…

I was feeling grumpy tonight. My girls were being absolutely crazy. Overtired from the fun over the weekend and a day home from school to rest and tame some sinus related consequences from a couple of allergy reactions during the week.

It is prime time for injuries just before bed.

I was scared in what ifs of heads hitting the tiles or bed heads. Running low on the zzz’s all week. A perfect recipe for me to get my grump on.

I know, I know better.

But, I am human after all, and my limits were pushed.

Futile attempts to calm them down were unmet. My expectations not even being heard. I was growing more and more frustrated for not getting my own way and I had a tantrum.

Yep, I admit it.

I have them from time to time.

It subsided as soon as my three year old calmly sprouted her humbling words of wisdom.

She responded consciously to my unconscious reaction.

Have a laugh Mum and let it go.

Come back and share in this moment of now with us.

Simple as that. She forgave me and calmed me down.

Smiling. Laughing. Grump monster completely disappearing.

As always, my biggest teachers.

“Life is a long lesson in humility” J.M Barrie
