The box of chocolates? The chocolates involved in last night's fiasco?
On the way up to Sandy's house yesterday, Isaac found some assorted chocolates in the back seat of David's car. (he's lucky I didn't get to them first) It was some off-brand of chocolates, but Isaac was surely intrigued.
He asked if he could have some and I tried to talk him out of it, not knowing what in the world was in the center of these candies.
He said (and here's the lesson? maybe) "Don't worry. I'll choose wisely."
Forrest Gump is a freaking genius.
I can't help but think: sometimes we do have to make choices when our options are all random and even unknown. Like moving to Nevada, or Montana, or even (sigh) Utah. Or making a big purchase, like a car or a new home. Or, on a smaller scale, letting the kids spend time at their friends' houses and not knowing the family/their values/what the kids are watching on TV.
The list of choices is long and diverse.
I'll just keep trying to "choose wisely".
