That could be my 4 year old son too. He has difficulties grasping consequences and cause and effect. And has no concept of safety and danger.

And he therefore requires constant supervision for his own safety. If he’s in another room, or another floor, there is going to be trouble. This is exhausting.

So far, he’s gotten into benign trouble – flushing makeup down the toilet, picking off the keys on my laptop. But he’s also drank Windex and wandered out of the house. That family could easily be us, too.

I hope Morgan’s parents and family treat themselves with extra kindness and forgiveness.
