Christmas trees without roots

The Christmas season brims with joy to all children, and you, my dear, are no exception. However, our recent trip to the store brought an unexpected turn. As you gazed at the rows of Christmas trees, cut down and lined up for sale, your eyes filled with tears. It pained you to see the trees, once standing tall and majestic, now unable to live out their natural lives.

“Can’t people just use artificial Christmas trees?” you questioned. “Why would we harm ourselves like this? Those trees are dead; they can no longer produce oxygen for us.”

Your empathy for the trees and concern for the earth’s well-being deeply moved me. I love you, my kid.

Chess

You had a chance to learn chess from a real Grandmaster, something that sounds super cool and exciting. But when it came time to sign up, you shook your head and said, “No, thank you.” I was surprised and asked you why. You told me, “I play chess for fun, not to win.”
Hearing your words filled my heart with pride. At just 6 years old, you showed me how special and wise you are.
