From the Mind of a Child

Noah: “Dad could you help me untie this? It’s in a knot.” Hands single knotted shoe to Dad.

a tied shoe from http://coe.jmu.edu/ecscience/Shoe%20Tying.htm

Dad: Ok. He’s a scout but a young scout. We must work on knots. Looks for the knot. “Noah come here. Hold here.” Places Noah’s thumb and index finger one the end of one shoe lace. “Ok. Now with your other hand hold here.” Places Noah’s other thumb and index finger on the other end of the shoe lace. Then holds Noah’s hands and pulls them apart thus causing the knot to come undone by Noah’s own hand.

Noah: “I tried that but I only pulled one.”
