...A Moment Of Weakness...

I know I should be better than this... As someone who teaches kids the value of discipline every day, it's embarrassing to admit my own shortcomings. Last week, we had a rule in our house that no one was allowed to eat cookies before dinner time... And you know what? I broke it. In the middle of afternoon classes, I couldn't resist sneaking a chocolate chip cookie from the kitchen while everyone else was busy elsewhere. It felt so naughty and secretive, like a kid getting away with something they weren't supposed to. The guilt hit me later when I saw my students' eyes wide with excitement as we talked about self-control in class. But it's funny how even after all these years of teaching the importance of rules, sometimes you just can't help yourself... It was just one little cookie... but it made me realize that being a role model isn't always easy, even for someone like me who prides themselves on following the rules. I'll stick to the schedule better next time, though...
