A Helping Hand this Winter

A woman was visiting New York city last  Nov. 14 when she came across a shoeless man asking for change.

As she was about to approach, she said a police officer came up to the man with a pair of all-weather boots and thermal socks on the frigid night.

She recorded his generosity on her cellphone.

This photo shows the officer kneeling beside the man with the boots at his feet.

Can you see the picture moving...????

Really.... How do they do that?

 

What a bizarre photo.

* Happy Shoe-Box Packing!!! May God bless a Child this season, through your effort and generosity! :)

Would you ever put your baby in one of these?!!

Nope, not the latest fashion statement.... however, a new invention made by  a parent.

It utilizes a baby's crawling abilities to mop the floor. Hmm. I dunno.

I really dont think this is the most hygenic outfit to dress your baby in, however, I should add, I am not and have never been a parent. I could see how some parents could teach thier kids to do chores at an early age with tihs gimmick.... but really... I dunno if I personally would feel comfortable dressing a child in this.

What do you think?
