The day before yesterday, my aunt Lala asked me to pick up some medication for her. I wanted to go but didn't want to get off so I asked Jesse to be the messenger boy. So he climbed aboard without hesitating. He was playing ball with his buddies, too.
So we arrive at her house and he hops off and collects the money from my aunt. We get to the Walgreens drive thru window get the medicines and drive back to her home. When he went to the porch, she hands him something. He comes back to the Explorer with a grin on his face. His aunt gave him $5!!!
Wow, that was an awesome tip. He said, "Mom, I didn't forget to say Thank You." He was so proud of the job he had done.
He got home an put it in his wallet. I told him that the following day we would go out shopping. So he was excited he had money.
We arrive at a store to do some shopping. As we get to the counter with some items, I stopped because I saw him get his wallet out. Actually four of us witnessed what he was about to do. See on the counter was a jar with a slot on the top for a donation. I couldn't see what it said on the the jar. All I saw was this child on a mission. He takes a dollar out of his wallet and crumbles it up to put it in the jar. He was determined to get that dollar in. We were all amazed. He never noticed us at all.
My dh has always been a giver but to see it in my son was such a sight.
This was such a mom moment for me.
