it takes a village

[bookishghost]

on my way home i saw my neighbor pouring table salt on the rock solid ice on the sidewalk. i went “does that work?” and she said “if you use enough of it, yeah.” and then she added “my son fell earlier” and i said “yeah, i almost slipped just a second ago.” and then i went into my apartment.

that was nice of her, to sacrifice some of her salt to make the roads a bit safer. even if it was just for her son. she’s also helping my mom, whenever she gets back. we live in a society, and sometimes societies look like this.
