This happened today when I was detailing at a customers house and thought I would share the story although it doesnt have any humor in it ,
it was inspiring and made my day!
The next door neighbors boy came over to me and in a polite tone of voice informed me" I accidentily hit your car with a tennis ball and I dented it!"
This boy couldnt have been any over 10 years old. I walked with him over to my van and looked up and down the sides and couldnt find any marks let alone any dents.
I told him everything was fine,not to worry and thanked him for telling me .
I was so surprized he had even told me! Then I thought maybe his parents had seen it and told him to tell me . But when his Dad came outside I heard him tell his Dad he hit my van with a tennis ball and thought he dented it. He was still so worried! I again told him it was fine and told his Dad how impressed I was that he even told me and cared .
When I was a kid I am pretty sure only 2 things crossed my mind if I did something wrong or had an accident,run from the crime scene or lie if asked about it!!! :D
This boy has already learned 2 things in life at a young age....honesty and taking responsibility! More than lots of adults I know.
Ive been smiling about it all day!:)
Even if he had put a dent in my van I would still be smiling!Awesome kid!
