Good Deeds Rock!!!

Tonight I got to play the role of Good Samaritan.  And it rocked! 

Andrea’s parents were in town and we went out to dinner.  On the way back to our house we noticed a lady sitting in her car with the hood up.  She looked a little stressed.  There was a lot of luggage in the back so I assume she was headed somewhere.

Anyway, Andrea’s dad and I walked down the street to see if we could help.  She had been sitting there for a half hour and couldn’t get her car started. It wouldn’t even make that click sound when you turn the key.  So we took off the battery cover and checked her battery.  The battery had been replaced a few months ago.  So we tried to jiggle the terminal cables.  Turns out one was loose.  We tightened it up and the car started right up.  Full Power!

She went on her way and we could smile because we had gotten to do something nice for someone who we don’t know.  It feels good!

Post-Halloween Thoughts

Just some thoughts that popped into my mind last night while we were out trick-or-treating with Addison:

- What is the age where it is no longer cool to dress up and go trick-or-treating?
- Why is it that teens think they can get candy without putting effort into a costume? (What are you?  I’m a high schooler- Get outta here geek!)
- Where are some of these teens parents and why did they let them out of the house dressed like that?
- Why do people hand out candy on the “evil” halloween?  Seems weird doesn’t it?
- Should there be a standard as to how much candy should be given out at a house?  I mean some places give one tootsie roll, others 3 large candy bars and a $20 bill.
- Urgent care places were providing free x-rays of your candy to make sure no metal was in them.  What sicko started putting metal in the candy?
- Why is it okay to walk down the street and take candy from a stranger on Halloween but not any other day?
- Why is it so funny to watch people get scared?

Just some of my thoughts….
