Dear Kid,
Happy April! I hope you survived April 1st without too many Fools or too much snow. (What is it with Mother Nature this year? Spring should not include snow imho.)
April 2nd is National Reconciliation Day.
Puppy: What does National Reconciliation Day mean?
Me: Do you know what National means?
Puppy: I’m a puppy, not a linguist.
Me: Fair enough. It means the whole country gets to celebrate.
Puppy: Everyone?
Me: If they choose to.
Puppy: Celebrate means treats, right?
Me: I guess it might.
Puppy: What about the rest?
Me: Reconciliation means to patch up a friendship or relationship.
Puppy: Patch up?
Me: Fix.
Puppy: Huh? I don’t understand. Why would you need to fix a friendship?
Me: Sometimes people say or do something that is hurtful to someone they care about.
Puppy: WHAT? You mean they bite?
Me: No, but sometimes words can hurt.
Puppy: Like when you tell me not to do something?
Me: Sort of like that.
Puppy: But then you tell me you love me.
Me: I do love you.
Puppy: I think I know what the problem is.
Me: You do?
Puppy: Some people don’t sniff other people enough. Then they get confused.
Me: You might be right.
Puppy: When do we celebrate with the treats?
Love, Mom
