Nurture begins with a Kleenex

I was working in the home-office this morning, and I heard a sneeze down the hall, where the boys were playing.

Daniel came into the office: Daddy, is there any Kleenex?

I got up to look for a Kleenex for him, and told him, "That's very smart of you to get a Kleenex when you need it." [Yes, we do need to encourage the use of this modern accoutrement.]

At that point, Daniel said, "I need it for my brother."

Sure enough, he was getting a Kleenex for Ian. We encourage this kind of thing...
