If We All Cared discussion

Challenge! Each day, do an act of kindness that appears random. By your best friend a gift...wash your parents' car...make your brother's bed (jk on that last one). Do something randomly nice.

Just once...

Every day...

And feel free to share what you did, below.

I helped set the dinner table without my dad asking. I usually don't do things like that.

Cool! I used to do that but now we eat in different rooms for the most part...Thanks for joining, by the way.

We always have to eat in the dining room. My dad doesn't like when we eat in the living room.

You're welcome :)

Yeah, my dad tries to get us to eat in the dining room but my brother and I normally eat at the computers (which sounds really bad, but I guess it is because I practically live in this seat and I'm not proud of it) and my parents usually eat in the family room watching CSI and junk...

I talk way too much.

Lolz. I would like if I could eat and use the computer.

It gets kind of addicting though, so once in awhile I make my "random act of kindness" eating with my parents, because that's a treat for them.

Yeah. I wish that my dad would eat with the family. He's often watching TV while we eat dinner. Just sometimes though....

My brother ALWAYS eats at the computer unless forced otherwise. He is a bad child.

How old is he?

12, almost 13

Just helped my younger brother fix his computer.

Ahh. I see. That's about how old I am. I don't eat at the computer though.

I do thats for sure! :P

My dad gets mad when my sisters do that. When I do, they complain, and my dad says that they're not a certain age, so they can't. It's hilarious.

Lucky! I wish it was like that for me!

I only have sisters :(

Hmm...what did I do today? I helped my friend with her project, and she didn't ask me to.

my brother is 12 and he does the exact same thing haha but now hez having to stop becuz my mom just got very mad at him a few days ago...

and i helped my brother with his homework :) (not easy to do hahaha)

I wish my mom would get that mad at him someday. He doesn't even get up to go to the bathroom unless it's ABSOLUTELY urgent...and I know because he shakes his leg and his feet tap the floor and it is SO annoying!

My brother doesn't let me help with his homework...you have a good brother.

My sisters get all mad when no one helps them. It's annoying. Both of you guys have brothers around the same age.

I mean gals...

Talk about annoying! My brothers go on MY computer when they have their own.

he lets me help him cuz he knows wen sister helps, sister DOES it hehehe i get frustrated showing him how or just "helping" cuz he doesnt lisen and it takes waaay longer then it should, so i just do it...sooo i gess my good deed isnt really that gud (^^;)

and ya he gets so mad wen no one helps him cuz that means hez gotta do it himself. tho he rarely brings home any work at all. maybe once or twice every 3 weeks.

same w/ my sisters!

I took my mom's things out of the car without her having to ask. There were so many things, and I didn't want her to have to deal with so many things, plus a baby!

THis may sound odd, but I enjoy unloading the car...

Today I helped clean and paint my cousin's apartment...Now the paint fumes have given me a headache...

Is she pregnant?

No, my baby sister is 11ish months, and she's SOOOO trouble!

I have 2 ANNOYING brothers. 6 & 4. I wish I had sisters!

I have 3 sisters. Sometimes I want brothers, sometimes I am glad to have sisters. Right now I don't mind both.

((So we're reading Moving Day by Meg Cabot on June 1st? I might not be able to do it. So busy within the first week of June.))

I already read it.

I'm way behind the group!!

It took me an hour to read it.

I'll have to borrow it once I'm at Hawaii. I already have two books I need to read. Plus somethings to write. Plus three powerpoints to do...

If you visit O'ahu, you should tour peaceful Mililani!

Okay!

??
*confused*

Blue oceans.

What are you confused about?

You said something and then Tia said okay. I don't know what's going on.

I said she should look at Mililani if she visits Hawaii.

IS that a place? Or a person? Today I went to the mall for my cousin's birthday, and now my feet are dying. Well, gotta go. Ttyl.

Oh yes Mililani is beautiful! Its a city. I like to shop there alot! And Ala Moana to! Its the biggest shopping mall we have on this island, though they are going to build one in Kapolei. They say it will be even bigger then Alas. O_o If you go to the beach and like tiny waves and shallow water, you should go to Ko'Olina! Thats by where I am. But if you go for the big waves, I suggest Barbers Point, White Plains for medium waves, lots a surfers! (again right by me) Or Waimea bay for large waves! (opposite of the island from me)

Cool!

:D Yep!

That sounds so cool, Kii!

Ugh, shame on me for not coming on for so long.

Yes, shame on you aN! Haha nah I get busy to and cant go on. Plus we only have one computer and everyone fights for it.

there was a homeless man on the side of the road. we dont usually give money to them, but one day we had a small bag of food so we got a few bills of however-much-money and gave it to him with the bag.

Aww thats a nice thing to do! Back when my parents were still married, my dad used to give people rides and we brought a few homeless people into our home for a bath and a bed for a night. It feels bad to take them back to where they came from though...

Oh, that's so nice of you! That must mean so much to them. It would be hard to take them back, but would could you do, besides making sure they will be alright? It's so sad to think about.
