What A Difference!

Lunch time. A five year old girl, a guest at KDM birthday, spoon fed by her mom while she was busy playing. She occasionally bossed her mom around to give her drink and demanded this and that. When lunch was over her mom packed things up for her. A five year old boy, lives in KDM, no parents, sat quietly in front of me and ate his meal. He asked me nicely to watch his plate while he went to get a drink. When he finished he put his plate and spoon back and threw his plastic cup in a recycle bin. I couldn't help but wonder which child is more fortunate.
