We kept kiddo home from day care today for a special project. When we
moved in a year ago, we made kiddo a deal: She could keep the finished
part of the basement (which is most of it) for her toys. She could use
it as a "rec room" and was free to keep it messy most of the time in
exchange for helping keep the main floor and her bedroom tidy.
So the project today was to organize her basement playroom a bit, and to
donate toys and clothes that didn’t make the cut to the local rescue mission.
I phoned to see how mommy was holding up during the noon hour. Kiddo
described to me all of the money she brought with her. I told her it
totalled $1.37.
I didn’t realize she was about to donate it:
'She told one of the residents, "I'm sorry you don't have
money and toys for your kids. I brought some for you!"'
She humbles me.
