Out of the 100s of sayings by
Trinbago old folks, 99.9% of them are right. ‘Friends will take you but they will
not bring you back’.
One day when my son was in
high school he and some of his classmates went to a bodega. He took up 4 packs
of chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and 2 packs of lemon cookies. When he got to
the cashier all of his classmates were in front paying, except one who stood
next to him with two packs of chips in his hands. As my son was about to pay
the guy who stood next to him ran out of the store, with the chips. The owner
asked my son if he knew him. He said for a moment he froze thinking he could
say no, but then he said yes, don’t worry I am paying for him. He said he paid
for his items and the two bags of chips that the classmate stole.
I said, “Do you see why I
always told you, do not go shopping with friends. If they do anything dishonest
you would be guilty by association.”…
School started. Speak to you children. Remind them to be on
their p’s and q’s when they are among friends.
A blessed safe day to you and
yours…
