The Mark of a Good Friend

I am home sick today. As a result, I didn't get out of my PJ's right away. DH had a few meetings. DS 3 is off at school. DS 4 is also here with me hacking and coughing away. DS 2 headed out to school about 8:30.

Around 9:15am I was making some toast and I heard someone knock on the door. My first thought was, "WHO could that be? I look horrible and I don't have proper clothes on!" It turned out to be a friend of my older boys who lives down the road. Actually, he is more like an extra brother to my boys. They are very close.

Anyway, I said "Hi, M! Did you need something?" M said, "Yeah, your [DS2] asked me to drop by." I let him in thinking my son probably forgot a book or an assignment for a class today. And right after I thought how nice it is that my boys have such good friends, M said, "Yeah, he wants me to get his deoderant. Do you know where it might be?"

Uh, did he say "deoderant"??? Yep, he did! I helped him find it and sent him on his way I'm sure much to the approval of everyone who crosses my DS 2's path today! Now, THAT'S a good friend!!
