Complimentary

As I have grown tired of the beans falling out of Amelia's bean bag, I decided today was the day to take action. With that in mind, I grabbed a sewing kit and began to work.  Amelia was so appreciative that she paid me two compliments....


"I'll always remember this because you don't know how to sew, but you tried your best to fix it for me."

and

"Daddy, I don't know how else to say this, but sometimes you act like a girl. You're calm, and you draw, and girls are smarter than boys, but you're pretty smart."

The first compliment made me feel great. The second one started out rough, but I know it was a compliment from the heart and of the highest honor coming from her.
