Kids say the funniest things...

I love volunteering at my older daughter's school. I do it a few times a month, but once a month, I get to work in the school store. For 1/2 hour, kids get to come down to the school store with their money and buy items like erasers, pencils, notebooks, etc. They are so cute-they are five to seven years old and come down with their money.

I helped one girl who couldn't decide, pick out $1.50 worth of items. She paid with two dollars. I gave her 50 cents change and started helping the next little customer. She starts to walk out, turns around and says to me "You could keep this as a tip!" I totally did not expect it. I started to smile, wondering how and where she thought of that one. I told her-"Thank you, but you should keep it and put it in your piggy bank". She really wanted to tip me. She was adorable to boot! I guess her parents are good tippers. When I told my family and friends, they were hysterical. It's one of those cute stories I will remember forever!

I hope all those who become parents through adoption, get to experience events like this as well! It makes being a parent so worth it!!
