It helps to have a positive outlook on life and my two-year-old brother reminded me of the importance of looking on the bright side of things yesterday. Due to some recent rains, we have been battling an outbreak of mosquitos here in Houston. Because they are too young to think of them, little children suffer the most from mosquitoes (I think). Yesterday, I saw mosquito bites on Peter and said, "Oh buddy, did the mosquitoes get you?"
He replied, "No. The butterflies bite me."
Of course, I had to correct him and explain that butterflies don't bite people, its mosquitos that viciously try to eat us. Then Mom said, "Well, that is really a positive way of looking at things."
Some look at a glass as being half-empty, others see it as half full. Some look at bugs and see mosquitos, others see butterflies.
