only a child

Posted on October 26, 2005 by wordhabit

tonight i knocked at doors to get donations for the Canadian Diabetes Association. my favourite house had a mum, a little girl, and a little boy.

as the mum went to her purse, the little girl (who couldn’t have been more than 6 said, mum, what are you doing?

getting money to give to the canadian diabetes association.

i wanna give some money!

and away she ran to her room and returned moments later with 5 cents! and as far as i’m concerned, it’s the best 5 cents in the world!

children…aren’t we supposed to be more like them?
