Fatherly advice

Saw this online yesterday and shared it on Facebook

I have been surprised at the number of friends who liked the post and some went on to share it.

It reminded me when my oldest started school and said he couldn't talk with other students.

My fatherly advice was to compliment them on something as an opening gambit and to this day he will often start a conversation by telling me that I have a great shirt or something.

As much as I'd like to share that I heard it first from my father, that lesson was one taught to me by Lunarbaboon and I think it's worth sharing.
