A lesson learned inside my head.

Months ago, now, we invited several families to our home to celebrate a birthday party.

A young boy was eating cookies, finished, then threw his garbage in my just manicured lawn.

I noted it and labeled him as 'careless' - attempting to comprehend growing up with so little respect for maintaining a clean environment.

Later, the guests swept through the garage where the piñata was smashed. Each piece of candy carefully was stuffed into pockets.

I followed the guests, cleaning after them - my pockets full of empty candy wrappers and my hands full of a mangled piñata.

A young boy was eating candy, finished, then coiled up the overlooked rope that had held the piñata. He neatly hung it on a nail.

He had noted it and possibly labeled me as 'careless' - possibly attempting to comprehend growing up with so little respect for maintaining a clean environment.

Although, I doubt he was so judgmental.
