Speaking the Truth

Zach and I stained the deck and our porches this past week-end.  The first coat of stain on the front porch came out pretty spotty.  Zach and Staley were in the front yard looking at the porch and they had this conversation:

Zach:  "That just didn't turn out very good, did it?"
Staley:  "Actually, it's pretty terrible, but it's not like we're having a porch staining contest so it will be okay."

You can always count on your kids to tell you the truth...and to put things in perspective.
