May We All Be the Nice Kid.

October 2, 2026 · 1 min read

Back from a long trip to some very remote places.

Opened this morning's reading and it asked a simple question: How can I exercise control over my words?

The answer was three questions:

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it helpful?

It reminded me of this poster on the wall at my daughter's school.

Be the nice kid poster by Bryan Scavnak in a school hallway

Same lesson. Different reader.

Some days I'm still the kid in the hallway.

May we all be the nice kid.
