Small lesson, big impression. (Dad, Grandma, tulip bulbs.)

I am very little (couldn't have been more than 6), sitting in the back seat of the car with my brother while Dad says goodbye to Grandma Cairns.


Grandma offers Dad a box of tulip bulbs.


Dad thanks her and says no, he doesn’t think so; she insists and he politely declines a second time, and we say goodbye and drive off.

The Lesson


I asked Dad why he didn’t take them. “They were free,” I said.


He responded: “Because we didn’t need them.”

No lesson here, just an interesting moment in time.
