>>A LOT of the clothes at Goodwill are NOT poor people’s clothes. They are used rich people’s clothes, and often less used, as fashions change, people die or sizes change. Their nice stuff winds in Goodwill. I am wearing a new looking name brand men’s white dress shirt for Easter that came from Goodwill.
The “/s” at the end of a post is generally accepted as the Sarcasm Tag. Do you think that the mom thought she’d teach him a lesson by making him wear “new looking name brand” clothes? Or do you think the message she was trying to send was that these are poor people clothes so you’ll wear them to learn humility?
I think she wanted him to learn that some people have to be very careful with a dollar so not to take for granted the good things that she and hubby provide for him.
