If you haven’t given Colm any of your spare change lately then you are among the few. I don’t know what it is about him, but people love to give him change. He doesn’t ask them for their change or throw a tantrum or anything, they just give it to him. For example, today he wanted a lollipop while Liam was in tae kwon do. He had all my change lined up on the table and after he counted it I told him there wasn’t enough there. So he counted again to make sure. This man who we don’t know at all comes over and tells Colm he needs to count his money again. Lo and behold, there is more money there than there was before.
Yesterday at tae kwon do Colm was again digging through my purse for change. It turned out I did have enough, but while he was looking a nice mom dug through her purse and gave him the money he needed.
What is it? Is it the red hair? Is it his determination to get a lollipop? Is it his winning smile? I don’t know what it is, but I hope it translates into financial success when he gets older.
