Sweet Words

Author's Note~ This is a piece is about a quote in from "Thank You Ma'am"

 

"You ought to be my son. I would teach you right from wrong. Least I can do right now is to wash your face. Are you hungry?"

This quote shows that the woman is not mad at Rodger. The opposite actually. She wants to care for the boy so that he will make better decisions later on in life. She is showing the boy through love and not anger that he has done something wrong and it will be corrected.

In her eyes she sees a young boy who is struggling. She can't just a be stubborn and show him that there are other ways to get what you wont. Stealing is not one of them. She has to make the right choice and help the boy so he will make good decisions in the future.
