Sky - AHA! I KNEW we'd agree on something eventually. There's a great lesson to be learned in the "agony of defeat" - i.e., life doesn't always go our way, and we don't always win. It's a good opportunity for a kid to learn how to get back up on his/her own. Isn't that the ultimate goal for our children after we're gone? If we never let them fall, they will never learn this important lesson in life.
