Our two older children, ages seven and nine, seemed to attract every child in our neighborhood for after-school games of hide-and-seek. Our youngest, Carrie, was not quite three and\u2014in the minds of her older siblings\u2014always in the way. Ten minutes into a game, our little one would get pushed aside or skin a knee.<\/p>\n
One afternoon, Carrie came through the front door, again in tears. My wife, Elizabeth, tried to comfort her by giving her two freshly baked cookies. \u201cNow don\u2019t tell the big kids yet,\u201d she cautioned. \u201cI haven\u2019t got enough for everybody yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
It took less than three seconds for Carrie to make it to the screen door, fling it wide, and announce to the big kids, \u201cCookies, I gots cookies!\u201d<\/p>\n
Great news should be shared with enthusiasm.<\/p>\n
