Last week, the kids received a gift from a friend. I offered cash for said gift but she said, "Just pay it forward." Kyler and Mae didn't understand that saying, so I explained to them that it means to do something kind for somebody without being asked. They seemed to understand.
Later that night, I realized that I had left my half-sandwich in the car from the restaurant we ate lunch at. I had just finished showering and it was chilly outside so I asked Kenny if he would please get it for me. Kyler was sitting next to me on the couch. As Kenny headed out the door, Kyler nudged me with his elbow and said, "Hey Mom...pay it forward and go get me a bowl of Peanut Butter Crunch."
Well, he half understood what it meant!
