This morning, I was loading the dishwasher when I saw a little hand made of construction paper lying on the kitchen table. I picked it up and noticed it read, "A helping hand was here." I went and found Ella and asked her about it.
She told me, "It's for the Daisy Scouts. Zoey is supposed to help out around the house without being told to do so. When she does something helpful, she leaves one of these hands."
"Cool," I said. "Random acts of kindness."
"And we're supposed to set a good example," Ella continued. "We're supposed to leave these hands around the house when we lend a helping hand, too."
"Hmmm," I said. "Any chance you'll be leaving one of those here tonight?" I asked, nodding at my crotch.
Her reply?
Silence.
And eye rolling.
