~~I had a conversation with my 5 1/2 year old tonight that meant a lot to me.
Sierra: "A boy on the playground said something that was bad, but that's okay. I just put his words in the trash can in my mind."
Me: "Oh. That's a good thing to do."
Sierra: "If someone says something good to me, I put them in the special box in my mind."
Me: "So you have a special box and a trash can in your mind?"
Sierra: "Yes. The special box is pretty. It's shaped like a heart with a ribbon on it. When someone says something nice to me, I put it in the special box in my mind. When someone says something mean, I put it in the trash can."
Me: "Sierra, that is such a good thing for you to do. Who told you about the special box and the trash can?"
Sierra: "Nobody. I just thought of it myself."
Ahhh. The wisdom of children.

How precious! What a tender heart! She sounds a lot like I remember her mommy being as a girl. :-)

That is sooooo sweet and something we call all remember.
It's nice to know there are some really good kids growing up out there! And a good mom to go with 'em!
What a lovely approach to life. Children are so precious. Hope they keep this attitude all their life, but I guess they will....
