Normally, when parents try to get their children to clean up their own messes, it’s like pulling teeth, which is why one Wisconsin dad was so stunned when his two little boys volunteered to help clean up a total stranger’s mess.
Milwaukee dad Daniel Medina was driving home one evening with his 6- and 10-year-old sons and was hard at work concentrating on the snowy road when his sons started begging him to pull over. Just as they were about to drive past, the two boys spotted a man in his wheelchair struggling to shovel snow from his driveway and knew they had to help.
“I didn’t even see the guy because I was concentrating on driving in the snow,” Medina said. “My oldest, Daniel, said, ‘Pull over, let’s go help him.’ So I said, ‘OK, let’s go.’ We pulled up next to him, and Daniel asked if he had any extra shovels.”
For the next 45 minutes, Medina and his sons shoveled in the cold for a total stranger. “He was grateful,” Medina said. “He kept telling us thanks and kind of supervised us, made sure we dug out the bus stop in the corner, and also his car because he had a doctor’s appointment the next day.”
It was an extremely proud moment for Medina, who later posted a picture of his sons’ hard at work on his Facebook. “It just made me happy,” he said. “They know to hold doors for people and all their manners.” And while Medina makes sure to teach his sons manners, he suspects they were so determined to help this stranger because their mother, who lives in Mexico, is in a wheelchair. “He would hope that someone would help her if she needed it,” Medina said about his oldest son.
