Today, my wife arrived at the daycare at the same time as a father in a wheelchair. Troy was brought out before the man’s kids, and when he saw the man, he immediately went over to him. Not sure if he was going to point out the man’s disability and completely embarrass her, my wife tried to guide Troy away. The man told her it was all right; and Troy ran up to him, pointed at his wheelchair tire, and said, “Eels, eels!”
He didn’t see the disability at all. All he saw was wheels. You have to love kids. They definitely see the world more purely and innocently than we do. We could learn something from them about seeing people for who they are rather than how they are.
