A Conversation

Me: We're going to church today to help sort clothes for the Community Care Clinic.
Spike: What's that?
Me: Our church is having a day where people can come and get free food and clothes and doctor visits.  Jesus told us to take care of the poor and make sure they have what they need, so that's why we're doing that.
Spike: Are there going to be kids there?
Me: Yeah.
Spike: Well, how 'bout I give some of my clothes to the poor kids?
Me: Oh, honey, that would be really great.  I'll help you pick some out.  That's very generous of you.
Spike: Yeah, that's a good idea to give my clothes to the poor kids.  It would be a bad idea for me to hit the poor kids.
Me: Yes. Yes, it would.
Spike:  Well then I will never hit the poor kids.  And I will never hit my very best friend, my brother, Ando.
Me: Well...that's good.
