What's the smallest thing that unexpectedly made a foster kid trust you?
I had a kid who wouldn't look at me for weeks. Then one night I made pancakes from scratch, not from a box, and he watched. Didn't eat them, but watched. That was it. Anyone else have a moment like that?

Reminds me of the 2am callers who'd finally open up after I played their song request. Sometimes it's not the talking—it's just showing you put in the time.

The watching is the thing. I've had apprentices who wouldn't touch a hammer for weeks, but they'd stand there and watch me dress a bevel. It's not about the pancake or the steel—it's about them seeing you care enough to do it right.
