As Wallyhood neighbor Jared writes, there is a German phrase, “Tu Gutes und rede darüber” which means “Do good and talk about it.” Jared’s son Kyle did good, and Wallyhood is going to talk about it.
A few months ago, young Kyle was being dropped off at Interlake Childcare Center when he noticed his favorite teacher, Sherry Thomas, riding her bicycle near the school without a helmet. And this was a problem Kyle could solve. He decorated a bike helmet with a “careful selection of dinosaur stickers and reflective Cascade Bicycle Club stickers and gave the helmet” to Sherry as a gift.
Fast forward a few months, and Sherry was the unfortunate victim of a bike vs. dodging dog accident while she was riding her bike downhill… wearing Kyle’s helmet. Sherry was injured pretty seriously, but not her head. No head injury! All because a thoughtful kid cared about his teacher and did a good deed.
Way to go, Kyle! You’re a great neighbor and we’re glad Sherry’s ok now! Good job, buddy!

Aww, wait to go Kyle! This made me tear up like a good Hallmark commercial.
Heroic, Kyle! I will definitely tell our kids about you this evening. Good work.
Good lookin’ out!
Stories like this make me happy. Kids are often great to point out the obvious to busy adults.
