Today, Charlie asked for a new toy. Again. In the past 12 days, he has received 3 new toys...one from each grandmother and one from his Aunt Carol...she's just a sucker.
So, in an effort to teach him a lesson about charity, we dragged his two big bins of toys out into the living room and separated them into "Keep" and "Give Away" piles. When we were through sorting all of the toys, the "Give Away" pile was much larger than I had expected, so I gave Lil Charlie a big hug and said, "some little boy who doesn't have many toys is going to be SO HAPPY to get your old toys."
Lil Charlie quickly stood up and corrected me and said, "Oh, no, Mama, I'm going to give half of my toys to my dad's Meme and the other half to your Meme (Grandmothers) because they don't have good toys at their houses."
That was his charity. He is totally and completely my husband's child. Thank God he has my good looks! :o)
