Friday afternoon, Finn and I were gardening in the front flower bed. We were removing old landscape rocks, cutting back dead stuff, and of course pulling weeds. Finn was loving every minute of it, especially since I let him use the hand pruners. Anyway, our neighbors across the street came home and on the way into their house the woman said to us, "when you guys are done, you can come on over here, we got lots to pull." I laughed and we exchanged a friendly moment. After they were in the house, Finn walked over to me and said "Those people need our help mom, and we can help them....we have cutters and pulling weeds is easy.....I'm good at it so we need to go over there when we are done." He continued on every few minutes with similar statements. My replies ranged from, "She was only kidding honey." , "she was just being friendly", and "yes, they do have weeds, but most people like to pull their own weeds, so we don't need to go over there." and so on did not do much convincing. After hearing myself say that last one really got me thinking. Maybe Finn understands the golden rule better than I do.
