It's something I started teaching my son when he was 2 - and he would complain when I would head out to shovel snow or mow the lawn, or whatever else I did for an older resident in the neighborhood. He wanted me all to himself on the weekend.<BR/><BR/>I've taken him to our local food bank where he's helped pack food boxes. I hope to instill the importance of these actions so that he will do similar things on his own. As with ALL other things, I do not need the government to step in and teach FOR me.<BR/><BR/>If they come for our children...<BR/><BR/>They can have my <I><B>son</B></I> when they pry him from my cold dead hands.Skullzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498479084663589864noreply@blogger.com
