As parents we pray that our children will make the right choices.  We teach them to “do the right thing”.  We try to set a good example.  I find that my efforts pay off when I talk to their teachers, or their friends parents.  When I hear of how they handled certain situations without me there to help them make decisions.  The following story is about my best friends six year old son, Parker.  I know she must be proud.

Parker and two of his classmates were coming out of the library and spotted a $100 bill.  They immediately brought it to their teacher who asked if they ever thought about keeping it.  They children said that it did not belong to them so they wanted to turn it in.  The teacher nominated them for the Lee County “Do the Right Thing” award and they were honored by the sheriff’s department and received letters from Congressman Connie Mack and Senator Bill Nelson.

I am not sure my six year old would have turned it in.  I think this is very impressive.
