My mom, Mike, and Suzy came for dinner two weeks ago. Alfredo had cut himself just before they arrived and couldn't find a normal bandaid so he'd used a large bandage (he didn't ask me...when I realized I grabbed him a bandaid.) A few days later, Mike told me there was a gag gift arriving from Amazon for Alfredo. It arrived and inside was...a box of bandaids and a styptic pencil to stop bleeding. We all laughed as it was pretty funny. But I also found myself thinking about this. I know it was meant as a joke but I also feel like it is so indicative of my parents' character that they would see a need and try to fulfill that need. That is just the type of people that they are. I'm so grateful and want to be more like them.
LESSON LEARNED:
See a need, fill a need.
Have a sense of humor.
