How cool is this! Raising the kid right...

[Skippy SH13]

I'm sitting at work today, and I get a really long text from my 12 year old son. This is that text... verbatim.

A couple of things come to mind. DANG... in one find, my kid out finds the value of ALL my finds in one fell swoop... and second... I'm SO proud of him for doing this selflessly. What a great kid!

"I was metal
detecting at the vails
and I saw this lady
that was on her
knees and I didn't
think anything of it
and she called me
over and asked if
that was a metal
detector and I said
yes and she told me
that she lost her ring
and I ended up
finding it were she
was sitting and it
was a diamond ring
it was so cool she
offers to give me
something and i
declined the lady was
*name withheld* age
and I found her
DIMOND RING it
was like moms can
you believe that now
i can say that I found
a DIMOND ring
metal detecting
