HERO

Yesterday, I walked down the street to the parking garage three blocks away just to be fully distantly-engaged with the conversation of a father with his two girls who were sharing the same path as mine. He "lectured" them in how corporate law works, when and how to sue and to get the sue reversed.
Definitely impressive! The enthused girls were like 6-8 and they were learning about corporate law. I am sure these girls were dreaming of becoming either a lawyer or someone in law practice, just like daddy.

It is not that hard a parent or any adult to be adored by a child. It is what an adult can "offer" to make the child feel wonderful and accepted, whether it is warmth, good relationship, advises, teaching, wonderful meals (inspires the kid to be a chef), insider tactics (eg. in law practice, like the above story, or business ventures). I learnt it's never too much or too early for them to share our knowledge.

note: Happy World Cup 2006: Italy vs. France! May parents spend some (extra) quality and educational soccer moment with their kids.

memo:
Contradiction between the beginning and the finishing of Zidane's game in the 2006 World Cup. What happened on the final was a mystery. I still think Zidane had a great career and undoubtly one of the best.
Aside... VIVA ITALIA!!

my husband loves zidane. racialism or scandal still happen even in the most prestigious sport. too bad it happened to him on his last game.
by the way, my daughter tara calls her dad "hero-daddy". that's when she witnessed a man called tom "hero" for jump-started his car in the middle of nowhere.
