When judging beauty, be generous

Lesson1: When judging beauty, be generous.

Thing 1 always brings his mom flowers.  He’s learned (the hard way) that flower gardens are off-limits.  So he picks ‘wildflowers’ instead.

For a while I tried to help him distinguish between weeds and true wildflowers.  A typical conversation went something like this:

Him: I’ma pick mommy some flowers…
Me: Good call, champ. But that’s a dandelion. It’s a weed.
Him: Looks like a flower to me.

BouquetHis ‘bouquets’ definitely aren’t FTD. But his mom loves them like crazy.
