Hi Harry!


I came across your work while perusing 'Read and Review". How odd that you wrote this in 2003, revamped it in 2010, but its showing no reviews at all. I guess we all have one or two of those items.

So, what happened when I read your work? At first, the unusual presentation slowed me down, but I like quirky things, and apparently you liked presenting it this way. I laughed a bit, seeing how time has changed so much. I can't remember the last time I saw an actual, working phone booth.

The message inside the words rang so true for me. What we teach our kids, they hopefully teach theirs. (but only the good stuff they learned from us.)

I'm probably not the only person who wondered about turning the money over. This ended up being the crux of the story. Because the man in the 7-11 probably did keep the money, but the way you hit that last line with such accuracy made me think Yes, that's very true.

I've lost my wallet on five separate occasions, and it's always been returned to me untouched. There are wonderfully, good people in our world, and great parenting fosters the continuation of kids doing the right thing, even when they don't have to.

Everyone has their own style. This feels more like it belongs in short story format, but I honor your choice.
