I always teach my kids, if it ain't yours, don't take it. I found $20 on the floor of a store once. I took my kids and the $20 and went to the register to turn it in. The people at the counter were absolutely amazed someone would do something like that. Very shortly afterwards, my son found a Hot Wheels toy car in the hardware store that some other kid accidentally left behind. He picked it up, looked at it like he really wanted it, then put it back and said "it's not mine". It's great to be a dad.
It's great to be a dad.
Moments like those, hell yeah it is. That pride you feel when you see your kid do something virtuous is unmatched.
