Something Good Out of Something Bad

We got home from visiting Courtney the other day and found that we had left the bread open while we were gone. I was immediately disappointed by the thought of stale bread.
The kids knew I was disappointed, but Collin didn't take long to say,

"Oh, well. You can make french toast with it."
Me: "Oh, that's a great idea. I didn't think of that, but I like the way you're thinking."
Collin: "Well, ya' know, mom, you can always make something good out of something bad."

This thought had me baffled really, because I immediately thought of more than just bread.
Me: "When did you become so wise?"
Collin: "I read it in a book somewhere, but I'm pretty sure it's true."

I did make french toast the next day and it was great! I'll be making french toast out of my life for awhile, I think.
