I've never met a stranger

So yesterday I was at Wal-mart, and as I was leaving I passed a van that was parked under a shade tree near the exit. There was a sign leaned up against the side of the van that read "ran out of gas needing to get home". Inside the van I noticed a child in a car seat surrounded by suitcases. Ths broke my heart, but as I drove away I thought about the sad fact that all that could have been just a ploy to get money from people. I once filled up a mans gas tank at walmart because he and his little girl couldnt make it home. After I felt really good until my mom snapped me back into the real world with her speech on not being so nice to strangers. I felt bad yesterday for not stopping and helping the family but I spent to much time trying to decide if it was fake or not and ended up getting honked at! haha I have had this thing all my life that I have never met a stranger. My parents have always told me that. I can talk to anyone, anywhere. Somethimes though this is a bad thing or can lead to things like being over generous when someone is taking advantage of you! I guess I have learned this, you have to be kind and generous but within reason! Hope everyone has a good day! =)
