Good job, Honey!!



After the Clippers baseball game the other night, we stopped by our local Kroger to drop off papers to the recycle bin - - yes, in the rain. At first, I'm sure my husband was thinking to himself there was probably a better time to do this other than in the rain, but I wanted it done. Then after Jay and Zack were done unloading the four laundry baskets of newspapers, Zack kept trying to close the lid on the bin, but it was too wet and heavy for him. Jay kept teasing him, in a fun way, calling him a boy scout.

Well, as we were pulling a way, we noticed a guy pushing a car up a slight slant in the rain. Jay pulled up and got out to help him push the car up to the pump. As he got back in the car, we noticed the two people were standing looking at their gas tank on the opposite side of the car. Unfortunately, the pump's hose was not long enough to stretch across the back side of their car to the tank. So, Jay got back out and helped the guy push the car back down the slight slant and then they positioned themselves behind the car and pushed while the driver turned the wheel to get the car to the other side of the pump.

So the kids returned the favor . . . Who's the boy scout now???

Nice job, honey!!
