I Just LOVE Kids
I was visiting at mommy needs coffee recently and she had a cute story about her daughter and the “most necessary” milk cup.
I was reminded of a story about Alan, a wonderful little boy I watched for many years before entering the corporate world.
Alan couldn’t exist without the quilt I made him for a baby gift. So, because he stayed in two places, (my house and his home) we cut the quilt into two pieces, one half for each of his residences.
One day when he was four years old his mom (my best friend) called and said that Alan had given the home half of the quilt to his dogs, so they could be comfortable in their dog house.
It seemed like the opportune time, so I got on the phone with him (and very carefully approached the “get rid of the other half” conversation),and asked if he would like to give the other quilt half to the poor children so they could be warm and comfortable.
To this he answered, “can’t we just throw it away??”
You just never know
And thanks so much, Buzz, for the Father’s day post. Very nice.
