I took Logan with me to the grocery store the other day.
As we were leaving we passed a Salvation Army bell ringer. Logan asked who he was. I’m sure that looks strange to a child. A man just standing outside a store ringing a bell. Anyway, I told him that the man was hoping for some cash or change, and that they use that money to help people with things like clothes and food that don’t have the money for it. Logan said, “But, Mom, we should talk to him! That’s us!”
Sigh.
aww. What did you tell him?
I just told him we were lucky that we weren’t going hungry, and that we were wearing clothes. I also told him I was his mom, and that he’ll be taken care of, ’cause his mom asks for help when we need it (and I have).
