Good kid

I am sponsoring Trixie’s prom dress. She is the daughter of a neighbor. Her parents can’t afford to get her a new one so I volunteered to sponsor it. Trixie is a good kid who helps out at home in exchange for a few bucks a week. She uses her earnings as school allowance so I am really fond of the kid. She knows her priorities.

Of course, before I told her I’d buy her prom dress, I talked first with her parents about it as a sign of respect for them. They are overwhelmed by the gesture, they said, and are thankful for the good things our family does for Trixie.
