The youthful attitude
I was walking through the mall yesterday, shopping for a birthday gift for my mother. I noticed a quarter rolling on its side down the walk-way, and I paused and watched with interest to see where it would go. Maybe by the time I got to it, it would have stopped rolling and I could pick it up! I’m not ashamed to admit that I pick up coins from the ground! Before I got to the coin, however, a teenager kicked it away! I asked the teenager why he didn’t pick it up, and kicked it away instead. Would you believe his response was “A lousy quarter isn’t worth bending over for!” Well, if THAT is the attitude of today’s youth, I think we are in sorry shape!
