Lost My Credibility

We, as parents, should try to be sure that we know what we are talking about before we open our mouths. Take the four-leaf clover, for instance. I was always under the impression that it did not exist. Well, apparently it does. And I didn't even need to look it up on the Internet, although I did this for verification.

Jessica found a four-leaf clover.

In the clover patch in the front yard. Who knew? I took a close look. I had her bring me another clover to be sure the leaves were the same. Sure enough. We dried it flat in a book.

According to the websites I looked up, it happens about once every 10,000 times. Not too often, but still, I was wrong.

Now she isn't going to believe anything.
