Can you imagine what led to this level of hurt? / myLot

Do any of you remember this picture? It is from last year, when I was working at a Jewish preschool in Berkeley. The child in the picture was staring daggers at me, her cheeks were flushed, and I thought she might break into tears. Does anyone remember the terrible thing I had done to this child to elicit this look? Note: I hadn't seen her in months and went to her 5th birthday party recently. She gave me a big hug when she saw me, so I think all is forgiven.

It is hard to put down a good book. As you can tell, I peeked to see what others said about how you offended.

I'm glad 3-year-olds don't stay mad for long.

@TheHorse I think I remember the picture but thought it was nothing you did and if it was what was it? Did I hear right that kids forgive easily?

I had to take my 10-minute break as we were reading a favorite book together. Yes, kids forgive easily.

@Hannihar You are correct. She wanted me to finish it and got mad that I could not.

Children have the biggest hearts. I wish adults we're more like children

I love 2-year-olds. But if we were emotionally 2-years-old for all of our lives, who knows what might happen?

She is. But when you are 2 3/4 or 3, a small transgression can cause great hurt...for about four minutes.

@sophie09 The powers that be demanded I take my break right in the middle of a book I was reading to her.

I remember very well that you posted this photo, but you did not mention in the previous post the reason why she looked angry at you.

I remember seeing the photo but can't remember the crime you committed. It was something innocuous if I remember right. I'm glad that she forgave you. A beautiful little girl.
