He told me of his sister who was in labor and they didn't have the money for a natural birth at the hospital here. She needed a c-section and could only afford to go out to the a "other" hospital. He had found a ride, he had the money for the hospital, but he just needed money for the diesel. Lie or not, who am i to say. We handed over the money because I felt as though it's not for me to say whether or not he needs help. But when it happens again and again... he came by the house (don't know if he knew it was our house) just last week and said that his friend had eaten some mushrooms and needed the doctor, could we help? same frantic voice. same nervous look. when do you say yes and help, when do you call them on their lie...?Carinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434378648929886211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545663650949682871.post-64610127828746745572010-04-24T10:36:02.162-07:002010-04-24T10:36:02.162-07:00I'm a sucker too.

All the little things like, "oh, I'll have to check with my husband and see if we have anything going on" when I know danm well we won't be going. Or telling my daughter something is "all gone" when, in fact, we have more but I'm not giving it to her. All of it. You're right. Nothing good comes from that.QBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958202392390845488noreply@blogger.com
