Wolf's Grace

The other night when we were sitting down to dinner, my 6-year-old said, "Wait. Before we start eating, everybody join hands."

I'm thinking I don't know where she got this, and I'm not sure I like where it's going. But sometimes you just have to humor your kids.

"OK," she continued, "this is called 'Wolf's Grace.' Everybody howl like a wolf."

So we consecrated our meal with the call of the wild before digging in.

There was a time when I couldn't have imagined how much more awesome life would be with children. It turns out that being the Alpha of my own little pack is pretty great.
