A Little Story

Keith took Liam to Wal-Mart today to buy a new car seat for his parents.
As they were standing in line to pay a very elderly gentleman asked Liam if he was being a good boy. Liam very shyly said yes and tucked his head into Keith's shoulder.
Then the gentleman dug into his pocket and Keith feared he'd pull out an old sticky candy but it was a small black wallet. He dug around and pulled out a loonie which he presented to Liam because he was a 'good boy'. Liam said thank you and clutched it tightly.
As they shuffled up in line, Liam held out the loonie asked Keith: Daddy, what dat?
Ah yes...he knew it was a good thing but not sure why!

What a sweet old man....this story warmed my heart and maybe it will warm yours too!

Wouldn't we all be happier if we could look at money and say "What dat?"
