I drive past a kid who's fumbling with the broken chain on his bike, and I'd like to help, but I don't have any tools. And I'm headed to Best Buy to blow some cash. Plus, what if his parents came along? Would they think I was being helpful? Or trying to kidnap their kid?
I remember when I was liitle, wondering why adults didn't step in and help out more often. Once, when I was like 5 or 6 years old, I decided to pretend my legs were broken, and use my arms to drag myself along the sidewalk for about half a block. No one stopped to check on me. Would I stop if I saw a kid crawling along? Probably not.

It's sad.
ReplyDeleteLike the guy who found himself being questioned by police after someone saw him walking hand in hand with his daughter.
This is why I hate all that crap on Fox News. It's made everyone so paranoid that no one helps anyone anymore

ReplyDeleteBecause you'd know he was just pretending! Just like you!
