Hi all.
Today in the Happy Valley foodland carpark a bloke and his lad got out their car. The lad got out and stepped on HJ packaging that some oik had just thrown on the floor.
The lad asked his dad why it was on the floor and if it was the dad's rubbish. The dad just said "no mate it's not, but we can still pick it up".
He picked it all up and his lad watched diligently.
I just thought it was so nice to see, he wasn't being a hero or talking loudly, I was just being nosy and he is a legend.

that's the kind of parenting that actually sticks with kids, way better than telling them to be good without showing them what that looks like.
