bliss

bliss, noun: complete happiness

As they say, "ignorance is bliss."  Nowhere is that more evident than with young children.  Today my daughter and I were reading "Three Blind Mice" in her nursery rhyme book, and I tried to explain to her what the word "blind" meant.  I told her blind people can't see, and I covered her eyes with my hand to demonstrate.  She got very upset and said "Mommy, don't say that!" We moved onto another song, and she didn't say anything else about it, but I know my daughter is sensitive and will think about it and absorb it.

Am I going to spend the rest of my life chipping away at my daughter's bliss, one lesson at a time?
