That is so sweet...

Sometimes you hear something that makes you turn and go -

' Ah that is so sweet and kind' and here are a few of those for you.

"I left the office today to go home and grab a quick bite to eat when I saw this elderly man standing with his walker with his thumb out? I paused, made a U-turn, and went back to see if he needed some assistance. He said he was trying to get to the dollar store about 1.5 miles away.

My first thought was that this guy was trying to get some food so I decided to help out.

Once on the road, I had a couple questions for him:

How old are you? 93

What's your name? Mike

Are you married? Yes, my wife is 94 her name is Doris

Does she know you're gone? Nope, she probably hasn't even started looking for me yet.

Why are we going to the store? My wife and I like to share a Hershey chocolate bar every night and we're out so I need to buy 30 Hershey Bars.

I gave him my card and said next time you need some just give me acall and I will get them for you and I look forward to meeting Doris.

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the four pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.

"Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."

"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."

The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer.

"I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"

"Sure," said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle. "Here, Dolly!" he called.

Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.

Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid.

Then in a somewhat awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up...

"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt.

The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."

With that, the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands."

With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.

"How much?" asked the little boy.

"No charge," answered the farmer, "There's no charge for love."

After a life spent serving man, the horse had given everything, down to the last drop of energy and as a reward it was abandoned to its fate, sick and dying

Shortly thereafter he would be shot down.

When she met him by chance, the horse's life took an unexpected turn. The woman managed to get it by paying a small ransom. She took him to her house, where she had plenty of land and stables at her disposal as she was a lover of these animals.

She treated him with love and she took care of him, with her heart, with medicines and food.

The miracle that happened is clearly visible.

My son saw me when I was taking a shower. What do I do?

I’m kind of at a loss as to why you would need to do anything. Then it occurred to me: are you actually still in the shower? You got someone to bring you a laptop so you could ask this question? This really is rthe dumbest thing I have ever been asked, well, probably not the dumbest but ... You really should just grab a towel and dry off. And just to be clear on how much of a nothing burger this is, whether your son or you ever says even a word about this it absolutely should be about as serious as, “yeah that was a little embarrassing; what’s on TV tonight?” ’s

Why are you making such a big thing out of it and why have you hidden nudity from your children in the first place. It is healthy for children to grow up around and seeing both male and female naked forms and then allows for a balanced view of things. It sounds as if YOU are the one with the problem.
