I'd like to share how much I love the fact that you know about this.

A recent change and a good one that needs expanding.

“Normal people that figured they could do without a gas bill”

I used to do the marathon in my city for TV, which always fell on Mother’s Day. After the first two years of going to the flower shop just before closing, after I’d packed the truck, the guy would have my order ready. He’d stand at the door and wait, and would not close before I got there. Happened about 6 years in a row. Finally I got a new job in a new city about 3 months before Mother’s Day.

One of the last things I did before I left town was head to that flower shop with a cold six pack of beer and my thanks. Don’t wait up this year. It remains one of my best “humans being bros” stories 15 years later.

If you read the answers in the AMA you’ll see the kids are not deprived of these things, they’re just dosed out more reasonably (my opinion) than the average.
