As we were going to Wal-Mart, Benny said there's my sister's car.
I told him yes, she's working.
At the checkout, he insisted that he got her a drink!!
His words were "hooo it's hot out here"!
He carried it to the car, held it till we got to the Produce Stand & personally delivered to her out his window!
He sure does love his sister! ❤️
