Wooden Bowl.

Wooden Bowls relates to Empathy, Responsibility and a little bit of Assertion in C.A.R.E.S. Empathy, because the son and daughter in law failed to see that the grandfather wasn't spilling the milk, and breaking the plates on purpose. It isn't like when they were children, they didn't make a single mess. When people get older, they start acting like children. My grandfather had a beard, and when he ate, it was almost as if his beard was eating, not him. It was very disgusting to watch, but my parents told him it was OK. I didn't understand it back then, but after this story, I got it. It relates to responsibility, because as the son of the grandfather, he had a responsibility to take care of his father. When the son was younger, it was the grandfather's responsibility to take care of his son. The grandfather did his part, but the son was having trouble taking care of his father. Assertion also played a part, because the grandfather couldn't tell his son and daughter in law how he felt, because they would think he was just a burden. The little grandson had to find a way to tell his parents in way that they would understand. If he just told them, they would probably think that because he was young, he didn't know anything, and would just dismiss the idea.
