I was reading this post on Heart Songs and it made me think of something that happened earlier today.

I was visiting my mums house and she had given Jay a bowl full of grapes. As usual Jay was wandering around clutching his bowl and as usual he tripped and fell, smashing the bowl.

He looked at me, his face crumpled and he began to wail, telling me over and over again how sorry he was.

I wasn't in the slightest bit annoyed, after all its only a bowl and I kept telling him this. But he just got so upset. Then I felt terrible.

Does he honestly believe that I will be angry over a broken bowl? I do often tell him off for walking around while eating and drinking, a he always drops and spills stuff but I don't get angry with him.

As I watched the huge tears roll down his cheeks, my heart almost broke for my wee boy, who just didn't want to disappoint!
