#RANDOM: FOR ALL THE PEOPLE OUT HERE THAT THINK THAT THE SMITH FAMILY VALUES ARE SCREWING UP THEIR KIDS, HOLD YOUR JUDGEMENT: FOR THIS LITTLE GIRL AT THE AGE OF ELEVEN TO NOT ONLY BE ABLE TO MENTALLY/PSYCHOLOGICALLY PROCESS HER ENVIRONMENT; FOLLOWING THAT PROCESS TO ITS LOGICAL CONCLUSION AND THEN ARTICULATE IT VERBALLY, WHILE EXPRESSING THE PROPER AFFECT IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. TO SEE THE CONNECTION THAT SHE MADE, AND THEN FOR HER TO BECOME OVERWHELMED BY HER FEELINGS OF GRATITUDE WAS EXTREMELY TOUCHING. MOST KIDS WELL BEYOND HER YEARS, AND DEFINITELY OUTSIDE OF HER LEVEL OF PRIVILEGE , TREAT THEIR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS AS IF THEY OWE THEM SOMETHING........ THE MEDIA TENDS TO DEPICT THE SMITH CHILDREN AS BEING SPOILED WITH A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT; FOR AT LEAST THIS ONE THAT PERCEPTION DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SO............. HAVING MONEY DOES NOT NECESSARY FOSTER AND/OR DENOTE AN ATTITUDE OF PRIVILEGE, A LACK OF GRATITUDE AND SINCERE APPRECIATION DOES................ I AM PARTICULARLY IMPRESSED WITH THE CONCEPT OF THE RED TABLE; SOMEWHERE THAT A CHILD HAS THE RIGHT AND OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS THEMSELF FREELY ABOUT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, WITHOUT THE FEAR OF REPRISAL. #SMITHFAMILYVALUES #COMMUNICATIONISTHEKEY
