We have very limited space, so it is key to keep moving things around, trying to make the best use of our space, while displaying things in a fashion pleasing to the eye. (That is my forte').
I was restacking a big pile of gorgeous, black, granite thresholds, donated by the Lowe's warehouse in Plainfield, CT. (They donate a LOT of product to the Habitat ReStore in Putnam). As an example of the ReStore's great prices - these thresholds sell for approx $46+ at Lowe's. Our ReStore is selling them for $10. They are brand new, still in the packaging. Premium stuff.
These thresholds are heavy, and bundled in packages of 4, each bundle was about 80 lbs. I was dripping with sweat!
A small boy approached me as I was huffing and puffing, and sweating. He said quite innocently and honestly, "why is so much water on your face?" Apparently he never saw a person sweat before!
Kids can just be so honest... and when they are that little, they mean no harm, nor are they being malicious - they are just speaking honestly.
It made me think of the time when I was attending a shower of some kind (baby shower or wedding shower). I was on the floor, reading to a little girl on my lap. After I finished the story, she turned to me, placing her tiny & soft hands on my face... and said "What a nice mustache you have"!! What can you say to that, but "Thank you"!
You must love the innocence and honesty of kids!
I am a Putnamaniac that loves the honestly of kids, even when it is not very flattering to me!
