Who Raised These Kids? I’ll Tell You.
One of the things I love to do is observe people’s behavior. Halloween never disappoints, particularly the children and their parent’s influence.
Recently a talking head on one of the news stations said on air “Who raised these people????”
While I don’t know specifically, let me share two Halloween related stories.
On Halloween in a town in Michigan, a mother left a note outside her home that said…
My son is in the hospital. Sorry no candy.
I’m no Pollyanna so I know that in some neighborhoods, the home may have been egged. However, the door camera caught children leaving their own candy for their neighbor’s son.
One child asked her father if she could go out again to collect more candy to give to this young man.

And yesterday my hair stylist told me that when she ran out of candy on Halloween (she had almost 200 kids) her 6 year old daughter offered the candy she had received that night!
Who’s raising these people??? I’ll tell you…plenty of hard working people who take the time to parent their children.
Thank you parents!!
Children are great imitators, so give them something great to imitate.

My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
