Chalk Dust on My Shoulder
Personally, I think this is a brilliant series of Play-Doh ads, but I am not likely Hasbro’s target audience.
Last night I was approached in a parking lot by a young and very pregnant woman driving an SUV. She began by tearfully telling me she had already called the police, and I immediately began trying to remember precisely what the EMD cards say about childbirth. So I was relieved when I realized she was telling me that the police had refused to give her any gas money and that she was low on fuel and needed to drive back home to Pennsylvania. Frankly at that moment I was happy to give her ten bucks.
Almost immediately I began to wonder if I had just enabled a pregnant woman to get high, but there remains an issue of weighing the possible scenarios against the one presented. I believe that in many situations one must give the person the benefit of the doubt just in case, even at the risk of my being an easy mark as a result.
