Welcome to our forum.
Mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. Hedidn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him thefeeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe.So she had an idea of how to handle it.She asked a neighbor, Mrs. Goodnest, if she would please follow him toschool in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn'tnotice her.Mrs. Goodnest said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway,it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so sheagreed.The next school day, Mrs. Goodnest and her little girl, Marcy, set outfollowing behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor boyhe knew. She did this for the whole week. As the boys walked andchatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend noticed thesame lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week.Finally he said to Timmy, "Have you noticed that lady following us toschool all week? Do you know her?"Timmy nonchalantly replied, "Yeah, I know who she is."The friend said, "Well, who is she?""That's just Shirley Goodnest," Timmy replied, "and her daughter Marcy""Shirley Goodnest? Who the heck is she and why is she following us?""Well," Timmy explained, "every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd Psalmwith my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much. And in the Psalm, itsays, 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of mylife', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!"
