"She didn't even pay us." the kid said as we drove away after having changed the lady's tire.
"Dude, I help you and your mom for free and I didn't even know any of you until three months ago.", I replied.
"But that's different.", he said, "That's us.".
I guess our values and expectations are shaped by those who raise us.

He's a kid and they're selfish. The parent has to teach them out of that. I know my mother pretty much made sure we knew that we could not only do what we want but help people on the way. I think that shaped a big chunk of why I do what I do right now.
A person in need is a PERSON in need. Good on you Uncle John.
