Something Learned at Food Pantry

More of the same on Wednesday, but for this:

I wrote earlier about how having one of those two-wheeled grocery carts is such a boon. I was passing out the groceries Wednesday when a woman showed up with her 12-ish-year-old son.

"I kept him out of school today to come with me," she said.

She probably noticed my head jerk back when she said that, and defended herself, "Well, I HAD to! I don't have a car, and I have to carry these bags one and a half miles!"
