Recognizing the wrong and admitting it is huge. We got to spend some time talking with our daughter about heaven and hell back in August 2005 when a 19 year old friend was killed in the war in Iraq. I wasn't sure how much of it she could understand (she had just turned 5), but now I see how much of it she really did grasp. We need more dads sitting down and talking with their kids like this. You're a good man, sir (even if you are a Red Sox fan). It’s a very big thing when a kid owns his own sin, even if it’s cute like cheating at candyland.
