The shirt off her back

I missed posting this yesterday because life got in the way.

I have told my kids about this blog and have told them that I need their help. You see a lot of days I don't leave my house, which could make it very difficult to help anyone but my kids. So I have told my kids that they could help me with this endeavor. Well wouldn't you know it, the little one came through for me.

Yesterday at shcool, while changing out for PE there was another girl in Marly's class that had forgot to bring her PE clothes. You see if you wear the same shirt to PE that you wore during school you get in trouble. So this girl was a bit distressed according to Marly about getting trouble. So Marly told her why don't you wear the shirt I have on? So Marly changed into her PE clothes then gave the girl the shirt she was wearing at school that day. When PE was over the girl gave Marly the shirt back which Marly now had to put back on. Gross? Yes! I asked Marly if she thought that was gross too, she said yes but also said that she could deal with it for a couple of hours so that her classmate didn't get in trouble. You might be saying that this must be a good friend of hers? Not the case at all. Marly comes home a lot with stories about how this girl drives her crazy, so I was surprised that she helped her out. I am also very proud of her, because to me that is what is going to make this world a better place. Helping people out just because it is the right thing to do.

So I didn't completly not do anything yesterday. I was involved last night with making games and quilts for orphanages. Great thing to do too, but Marly stole the show yesterday.
