What Sweetness Doesn’t Know

“Daddy, do you remember that day when we went to the flower garden place?” she asked.

“Yes,” her Daddy replied.

“And do you remember when we walked down that trail and you were nervous that the bugs might bite my legs?” she asked, reflecting on the memory with innocence.

“Yes,” her Daddy replied with a knowing grin.

“And, and do you remember what you said the reason was that kept the bugs from biting me?” she asked with a small voice.

“I said it was because you were too sweet for them to bite,” her Daddy remarked.  “Do you know why I know that to be the truth?”

“Why?” the BabyGirl asked with confusion.

“Because those who are truly sweet, don’t know it,” her Daddy replied.  “They don’t talk about how sweet they are.  They simply show it – even when kneeling down to say hello to smallest of frogs.”
