Okay...
so the three of us were at Home Depot yesterday...(myself, husband, and 6 year old son) buying gardening "stuff"...you know...soil, chemicals, tools....the fun, dirty stuff.
As my son and I wait just outside of the gardening center for my husband to pull the truck around...(yes...we are semi- yuppies with 8 acres and a pick up truck alongside our Volkswagen Jetta...) I notice a woman, by herself, loading large bags of mulch and sections of concrete garden borders into her pick up truck. I decide it is the neighborly thing to do to help her load up...and this will also be a good place for my husband to pull in to get our dirt goods loaded up.
So...while my motives are two-fold...
my 6 year old jumps in and decides he is going to help as well!
I would like to think we have pounded good manners into him for the past 6 years and so perhaps it is kicking in...good for me...when he goes WAY past good manners and proceeds to tell this nice lady that "my mama always taught me that if I see someone who needs help, I should help them". I almost cried right there in front of the Home Depot!
She smiled at him sweetly and thanked us both!
I could not have been prouder!
