Apology

I always try to apologize to my kids if I do something wrong - or even if I'm just grumpy. I guess they do learn from example:

Last night before dinner, Charlotte was complaining and complaining. "Dinner looks yucky, I hate pork chops," etc. I told her this was what we were having and if she didn't want to eat it that was okay, but I wasn't going to make her anything else. Well, she ended up eating quite a bit (she likes pork chops) and then after dinner, out of the blue, she says, "Mom, I have to apologize for saying dinner looked yucky. It was pretty good."

It was so sweet!!
