Saddest Thing

Okay, Here's My Deal...

I saw the saddest thing today. My oldest son and I were driving around town doing some errands and I saw a little girl, probably 6 or 7, walking down the sidewalk--by herself, mind you--carrying a large plastic bag full of pop cans in one hand and a six pack of beer bottles in a cardboard carrier. She was about 4 blocks from the redemption center here in town.

Now, a kid with a parent or someone going there together to practice counting or something, but to send a kid that young by themselves to turn in your cans just bothers me. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I just didn't think it was right.
