Fawlty Showers 2

Stretch

“By the way, congrats, I hear you’re the proud father of a fifteen year old freshman,” I said to Randy.

“I’ve never liked you,” Randy said, shaking his head, but smiling. 

“You waiting to see a blood test before you pay tuition?” I asked.

“I already wrote the check,” Randy said.

I must have looked surprised because Randy added, “It’s a stretch, but I can help so I will.  I’ll get the blood test later just for medical purposes.”  

I was fairly certain in Randy’s shoes, I’d wait for the blood test before I wrote a check, especially if writing that check was a ‘stretch.’

I wondered if I maybe I could stretch a little that day to help someone.

 

Today I will stretch a little to be kind.
