I was sketching this for my son tonight and kind of got stuck.

Basil had one of those days…
the kind where nothing really goes right.

The wind takes his umbrella.
The rain doesn’t let up.
And for a minute, he just sits there in it.

And I realized… I don’t know how I want the story to end.

Do I tell him to chase what he lost
or learn how to move forward without it?

Feels like one of those small moments that actually matters.

What would you want your kid to hear?
