We love you, parents!

Being a parent is not always easy or fun, is it? We received the following letter and wanted to share it with you as an encouragement to "keep on keepin' on."

Dear Museum of Discovery,

I found this compass in my six year old's pockets after we visited your museum. We live in (city omitted) therefore I am mailing it back to you.

We truly enjoyed your museum when we visited. I apologize for my son's lack of judgement when he decided to take the compass from one of the exhibits.

What an awesome parent, yes? This mom could have chosen not to return the item but she took the time to use the opportunity as a learning experience. We appreciate her. And we appreciate every parent! On behalf of all of us at the Museum of Discovery, THANK YOU for the work you do every day to raise the next generation. We hope your visits to the Museum allow you the opportunity to "let loose" and have a little fun.
Sincerely,
Katie McManners
