Melt My Heart

The other day Firecracker and I were driving and we passed a homeless person asking for money.  Firecracker asked me why the man was there.

I tried to explain to him that sometimes people don't have a house, food or money so they ask others to help them by giving them money.  Firecracker then asked why the man didn't have any money.  I told him because the man most likely didn't have a job.  Daddy has a job and that is how we buy food and pay for our house.  

After a few quiet, thoughtful moments Firecracker piped up and said, "Mommy, I have a lot of money in my piggy bank".  I said, "yes, buddy you have money in your bank." (I wasn't sure where he was going with this).  Then he said, "yep, and I could give that man my money."

Oh my goodness!!  Melt this Mama's heart!!!!  My boy may be a crazy person sometimes, but he's loveable and loving.  He is learning to be compassionate and I'm so proud of him.

Have a great day!
Ms. T
