A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to
school He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to
give him the feeling 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 to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he
probably wouldn't notice 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 she agreed.
The next school day, Mrs. Goodnest and her little girl, Marcy, set
out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another
neighbor boy he knew. She did this for the whole week. As the
boys walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little
friend noticed the same 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
to school 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 Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so
much. And in the Psalm, it says 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy
shall follow me all the days of my life,' so I guess I'll just have to
get used to it!"
