WEEK 4
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE, AND IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY
Last week I told my dad I found Millie's shoe under the couch, again, and he said "you always know where everything is." I said "that's a skill." He laughed, but he said yes.
Here's the next thing. Some people say you have to wait until you're older to start the thing you want to do. Other people say if you didn't start early, you missed it.
Both of those are made up.
My uncle Brian waited ten years to play in the big leagues. He was thirty, and people said he was too old. The first batter he struck out was my other uncle, Colin. True story. It wasn't too late for him. And starting now isn't too early for me.
HERE'S WHAT I'M SAYING OUT LOUD THIS WEEK:
"I can start now, and I can start later, and both are fine."
HERE'S WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEK:
Starting one thing I've been waiting to be "old enough" for. And asking for help with the hard part, because that's allowed.
PRACTICE FIRST:
Say what you're starting to the mirror. Then tell your family, on tape, and ask for the help. Then start.
Mirror, then with the family on tape (a grown-up's phone, private album called Practice), then for real.
