So beautiful, and so incredibly insightful. I loved all of the children's responses, but there was one that broke my heart: Billy, the 4 year old boy. His answer was, "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." This is a child who understands the distinction because he knows what "not safe" means; has something to compare it to.
