Curiosity

I love this picture. This is Duncan being curious, being Duncan. He couldn't resist sticking his finger in the fountain. He kept getting splashed with water, but the consequences were not bad enough to quench (no pun intended) his curiosity. Don't you love that about a kid? Maybe that is one of the special gifts of raising children...they remind you to stay curious, to stop and stick your finger in the fountain. Do we just think we know it all? Do you want to know what I learned from Duncan that afternoon? I learned that even when we do know it all, (sticking your finger in the fountain stops the water), that the fun needs to keep going. You see once Duncan learned the result, he kept doing it. Why? Because it was fun. Because it felt good. And that my dear friends is what my children remind me daily. Even if you think you know what the ending is going to be; you'll get wet, you'll get dirty, you'll heart will break a little, whatever...do it because it's fun and it feels good!
