Love Lessons

I had read this wonderful article, but somehow repressed it.

My dear student and friend Adam sent it to me in case I hadn't seen it -- I felt like the punchline of this great Modern Love story. Enjoy, and thanks, Adam.

As an exercise:
Pretend that your main character has a child. What lesson - that your character already knows - do they need to learn? How do they learn it? Does your character tell them a story? Do they experience it firsthand like the boy in this article? Does your main character learn something new too?
