Nasty Family Down The Street
You might remember when I talked about my little girl's first day of Kindergarten. You might remember I had a minor meltdown over the whole thing.
You might remember how I mentioned 'Nasty Family Down the Street'. I was a little judgemental of "Nasty Dad's" smell (stale cigarette's) and his lack of teeth. While I am still judgemental of 'Nasty Dad's' aroma and I am still judgemental of his 'Nasty Pregnant Smoking Wife' and I am even more judgemental still of the disgusting way they keep their house and yard....
While all that is still true....I am also reminded how there are about one million perfect ways to raise children...
The 'Nasty Family Down the Street' may smell...but they have also raised a really sweet little girl who is sensitive and fun and very charming. They may make poor choices for their gestational health, but they are raising kids who are having a lot of fun growing up in that house, even if it is in dire need of a cleaning.
I may smell pretty good and I may have all my teeth but I'm not nearly as fun and friendly as 'The Nasty Family Down The Street'.
I could probably learn quite a bit from them....not anything about dental hygiene though.
Maybe a nice neighborly bath/body basket for Christmas?lol

Good people come in all sorts of packages. It's hard for me to ignore certain things (God gave me eyes and a nose, after all), but this reminds me why a book's cover never tells the whole story. Excellent point!
