As I walked to the 7-Eleven in this ungodly heat, I passed by an assumably homeless man standing by the pay phone. He did not say anything to me as I pushed the stroller past him to the Redbox machine. I needed to return the movie we had kept one day longer than planned. As I walk past the man again to leave, he muttered, "Spare a quarter?" I pretended not to hear him. As I walked home, I thought.
I should take that $2 spent on the Redbox movie and give it to the man. I can help a man out. I should do my part. I instead kept the $2 and walked home. I've been reading about how to use money for origami. I can make an intricate fish, or a jacket. Undoubtedly, however, it will purchase us a night of a Redbox rental, and one day of forgetting to bring it back.
