4/4

Let the children laugh and be glad. O my dear, they havent long before the world assaults them. Allowthem genuine laughter now. Laugh with them, till tears run down your facestill a memory of pure delightand precious relationship is established within them, indestructible, personal and forever.

Soon enough theyll meet faces unreasonably enraged. Soon enough theyll be accused of things they didnot do. Soon enough they will suffer guilt at the hands of powerful people who cant accept their own guiltand who must dump it, therefore, on the weak. In that day the children must be strengthened by self-confidence so they can resist the criticism of fools. But self-confidence begins in the experience of child-hood.

So give your children (your grandchildren, your nieces and nephews, the dear ones, children of yourneighbors and your community) - give them golden days, their own pure days, in which they are so clearlyand dearly beloved that they believe in love and in their own particular worth when love shall seem in shortsupply hereafter. Give them laughter.

Observe each child with individual attention to learn what trigger the guileless laugh in each. Is it a story? A game? Certain family traditions? Excursions? Elaborate fantasies? Simple winks? What?

Do that thing. Because laughter that is so easy in childhood must echo its encouragement a long, longtime. A lifetime.

~ Walter Wangerin, Jr. Little Lamb, Who Made Three?
