Last week a friend of mine was visiting. He told me about taking his 4 year old son for a walk in the park. They were walking and his son, was intently watching an older lady that was walking toward them. When she got closer, his son started waving at her. When she passed by, his son said, “Hi!”
Afterwards, his son said, “I always say hi to older people.”
My friend asked, “Why?”
His son answered, “Because they always have a sad look, and when I say hi, their face fills up with a smile.”
Insightful for a 3 year old. Something we should all remember.
