a case of mistaken identity

yesterday, tyler and emma came with me to the Y since i had a class to teach. the two of them hung out in the hall outside of the dance studio (a.k.a. the dungeon), for the most part, as they waited for me to finish up.

being the sweet big brother he is, tyler did an excellent job making sure emma didn't wander off too far.

a lot of the times, when emma plays she often neglects her blankie and the rest of us are responsible for taking care of it. according to tyler, as they were playing he had ended up being blankie's caretaker. apparently a young boy (around 6 years old) mistook him for a bully who had taken a little girl's most cherished possession. he came right up to ty (who is obviously taller and older than him), grabbed the blankie and returned it to emma. all the while saying, "you just don't take people's stuff like that!"

there is hope for the young men in this world. chivalry, courage and honor is not lost among them after all!
