Priorities

Some things are very important to my son and he won't let the details get in the way.

Food is one of those priorities.

Stephen is enrolled as a full time student at DeVry University - the place where his stepfather, Gianni, is employed. Yesterday Stephen approached my husband on campus to ask him about the plan for lunch. He said he had looked for Gianni earlier that day and couldn't find him.

Gianni told Stephen he left campus to take me to the emergency room, where I was diagnosed with a broken foot.

A typical response from a child that just learned his mother was injured would be to inquire about how the accident occurred and how his mother was feeling. But my son has never been typical.

Instead, Stephen replied, "So does that mean we're skipping lunch?"
