Jiminy heard a crash coming from the front of the house; having a hunch, it was his friend, up to no good, he hopped up and checked. Sure enough, there stood the little boy with tears rolling down his cheeks. “I didn’t mean to knock it over,” Perry cried, “I was just practicing my putting and got carried away.”
“Well, look there, little man, there at the cup, in all the excitement, you made a successful putt.”
“Y-y-you mean you aren’t mad at me?”
“Aww it’s one of those things and you just clean up the vase and let’s call it a done deal.”

Sweet! So glad he didn’t in trouble.
I was at HomeSense yesterday and a little girl knocked over a glass vase. She looked down at the broken glass all over the floor, realized what she’d done, and started crying. I felt so bad for her.

Consensus! This was an uplifting Six 🙂 Too often we get upset over objects. The child already felt bad enough. Here’s to having perspective and kindness!

Ten years later Perry became a professional golfer, made zillions of dollars and always looked back on the time Jiminy offered him encouragement. Inspiring six, Lisa.
