I imagine her mother will offer to give me back my $5 next time we walk. I would've hoped they'd come right to me to "confess"...because I would!



I'm going to admit that I don't understand this. If she had fallen into a puddle on her way to school would you be expecting your money back because the candy got ruined? It's a school fundraiser; the whole purpose of collecting the money is to buy things for the school. Giving to needy people at school can be really problematic anyway. A lot of kids already know they don't have what other kids do and are humiliated if someone calls atention to their situation, no matter how well-meaning they are. Maybe thise little girl could have handled it with tact and discretion, but it's tricky.
