Group hug time so we can feel good, that is important, but the kid was doing good with someone else’s money. This would have been heartwarming if it was his grass cutting money. If he had given it to a Greenpeace activist there would have been a completely different reaction on this forum.
How about an opposing sad story? Like it was an old crippled person’s $20 who goes to Cracker Barrel once a month as a treat and this was the $20 they were going to give to their grandchild for their birthday? Wouldn’t it be nice for them to get their $20 back?
Conservatives are supposed to have principles that extend beyond “if it feels good do it..”.
He should have found someone at Cracker Barrel and told them he found some money outside and asked if someone had reported some money lost. If not he could have left a contact number so he could be reached if someone did try to claim it. He didn’t need to disclose how much was found or give it to anyone.
*group hug* is right! Sorry for jumping on you but I saw no way for him to return the money and I ‘spoke’ without thinking.
Is there anything more gratifying then when someone returns a lost item to you? Maybe tracking someone down to give them back their lost item?
As mentioned above this kid did try to return so he and his mother have my respect.
