My 13 yr old was part of a fund raiser today at our church which was a yard sale. You know the members donate there junk and they have yard sale for funds.. Great group of kids and they are working so hard. I am very proud of them! Anyway my son got a nintendo ds.. (for those who don't know that is one of the latest hand held video game systems). He took it with him so during slow times at the sale he and his buddies could play against each other. well long story short someone stole it from him at the sale right ot of the church! I am so angry! At the same time I am so proud of my son.. he has shown such a good attitude about it and has not really even got that upset.. Like most of us parents I know life lessons are hard and necessary but I still hate to see my child have to endure them..
I told him I can't protect you all your life from stuff like this. I can't fix everything for you all your life...(I sound like my dad). But I told him I can fix this and I will get him a new one.. OIE! I so much want to be the Dad who can fix stuff like this.. I know in some ways it might be wrong to just fix it but that is what I am going to do this time..
Thanks for listening or reading as it were
Chris
