OC Mom Models Good Behavior
Larry found this note on his car when he came out of Lowes on Sunday. Yes, there was remarkable ding in the side of his car, but he was so moved by the integrity of this Mom, that he called to say it was fine. Isn't it just astonishing how doing the right thing can soften your heart.
I can see the Mom, searching for a pen and a pad of paper. Then writing the note (I like the way she added "hard') and then telling her daughter the repair will come out of her allowance. How refreshing that a Mom is modeling good behavior.
Pay it forward! This entry really made me smile....thank you for sharing! :)

We just had this happen today...How funny except it was our son who put a ding in someones trailer and he talked to the owner who appreciated that Shaun stepped up, but told him not to worry about it. The owner of the trailer was magnanimous in dealing with our son and we were grateful - It's so nice to see that there are really nice people in the OC...
