Signs of Greatness?

Sometimes I sit and wonder when exactly Albert Einstein’s parents knew how smart he was, or when Lance Armstrong’s parents realized how athletic he was, or when my parents found out how gorgeous I was. 

Arguably one of the most prolific leaders of the 20th century was Mahatma Gandhi, the pacifist Indian leader who brought his people from a dark and dangerous war into a period of relative peace.  One of his most popular tactics to draw attention to his various causes was going on hunger strikes. 
Ryan has been going to daycare for nearly a week and all reports are that he’s behaving well but he doesn’t seem to like to sleep and he’s not eating very much while at school.  When he returns home, he eats like a mouse in a Kraft factory.  So it got me thinking, could our little man actually be protesting his being banished to daycare?  Could he really be that clever? Then I look closer at him and I’m starting to see that he may have more in common with greatness than skinny arms and no hair. I’m hopeful our little protestor will give up his cause and realize there are other ways to make his point.
