Yesterday afternoon Evan started a major wrestling match when he decided to keep a video away from his brother. With great conviction, he said, “It’s fragile.”
“Evan, do you know what ‘fragile’ means?” I asked.
Evan answered, “It means special.”
It was funny watching them wrestle over the movie. It brought back memories of how you have to use every available appendage in these matches. Eli had Evan pretty well pinned with the movie just out of both of their reaches. Evan stuck his foot out and tried to grab it that way. Never Give Up.
I let them wrestle, though, as so often happens, it eventually turned into a less happy event.
Later Eli and I explained the true meaning of ‘fragile’ to Evan.
He seemed to grasp the meaning: “So when Samson had long hair, he was fragile!”
Now we need to work on the facts in our Bible stories.
