Many years ago, a ten-year-old boy approached the soda counter and climbed
onto a stool to ask the busy waitress, " What does an ice cream sundae cost " ?
" Fifty cents," she answered.
The boy pulled out an assortment of change and counted it carefully as the busy
waitress looked right and left at other customers she had to wait upon.
" Well how much would just plain ice cream be " ? he asked.
" Thirty-five cents " she replied curtly.
Again the boy counted his money. " May I have a plain ice cream in a dish, please " ?
He gave the waitress the thirty-five cents and she brought him the ice cream.
Later, the waitress returned to clear the boy's dish and when she picked it up, she
discovered two nickels and five pennies.
The waitress smiled tenderly as she realized that the boy had enough money for the
sundae, but settled for plain vanilla so he could leave her a gratuity for her service.

We so need more people in the world like this boy I hope he never lost that generosity of heart as he grew older. Us adults if we aren't careful make them lose that as they enter the adult world and that is so sad, we need to learn from them not necessarily them learn from us it would make a better world.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
