Funny Story about my helpers: I drive them every day to school in the truck (it is a daily driver, but don't have to go far for them, a little further to work.) One day my oldest (6 yr old) gets in with a candy bar and tosses the wrapper on the floor. I ask him why he did that His response: "It's a truck." I ask him if he wants my truck when he gets older: "No, dad." "Why not?" I ask, with flashes of him wanting a fancy new car or something of the like racing through my head. "Because it's dirty." He answers, "Just look at the wrapper on the floor." Ah, to be 6 yrs old again...
