A simple trip to the grocery store can end up being so much more, like for instance, a learning experience for my young boys. What did they learn today when we took a break from painting the family room to go grab some groceries? They learned it’s ok to throw your garbage out of your car window onto the street, namely, a woman throwing a cigarette out of her BMW convertible.
