Writing Prompt #101: The Least of These

You know how there's that person in your life who you have to be patient with, because they know less? Either you're more educated in a subject or you're more experienced in a craft or they're awful at not yelling embarrassing things across the room while you're trying to play chess or they're just generally five years old.

Write a scene where your character gets schooled by someone who knows way less than she does, whether it's a child or an old person or a mental patient or someone who acts like a mental patient or just that guy who's bad at all things life.

Write a scene where your character learns something vital from one of "the least of these." And while you're at it, I challenge you to pay attention when the weak in your life speak.
