tear down, not break down

September 21, 2008

I (Daddy) was reading a story in the Friend to the boys. It was a story about two brothers who encouraged and uplifted each other. We then had a discussion about how we can follow that example. Micah then made the comment, "Jacob breaks down Ben all the time." I quickly defended Jacob and expected him to stand up for himself. Instead he said, "Micah it's 'tear down'; I 'tear down' Ben all the time, not 'break down'." At least he's honest about himself...
