If you see a kid do something nice, tell their parent
Every morning, I send my boys out into the world. And every day, I worry about them.

He needed some help with the haul, so I parked in my normal spot a block away, and I joined him on the short jaunt to class. After getting him settled and bidding farewell, I retraced my steps. But to my surprise, the crossing guard stopped me to confirm if he was, indeed, my child. Hesitantly, I nodded, wondering if she was about to scold me for bypassing the dreaded car line.
