Good Deeds?

Last week my daughter "misplaced" her phone at school.  Probably what happened is she put it down somewhere and took her eyes off it, or it fell out of her pocket, but either way, it went missing.  Whoever found this phone did not hand it in and Kaley did search extensively for it.    

Kaley was devastated that someone took her prized possession!  She was also devastated that just last week she found $25 in cash in the loos at school and handed it in, only to find someone else didnt do her the same courtesy!   She was crying to me, its just not fair Mum, I always try and do the right thing, so why didn't good things come back to me?  I don't know the answer to that at all, in fact my heart just broke!  We take the time to teach our kids to do the right thing, only for what?  I always tell her, you put good out and you get good back, she is now demanding of me, where is her good back?

Her biggest upset about losing the phone is the Memory Card in it.  You know the memory card you move from phone to phone and add new photos and videos.  All now gone.  Memories lost, like a non backed up HDD failure on your computer.  She was like, and don't laugh, Awww Mum, all my One Direction videos from the concert! 

To my baby girl, I am so sorry that some people are just mean and yes, you should continue to put good out, even if you don't always get good back, because imagine the world of pain you get if you put bad out!
