Village

They say it takes a village to raise a child I’m skeptical. After all, humans are innately selfish. And I can get all the love I need from my biological parents. But Alex’s mother takes me home from school, And Coach Rod gives me ten extra push-ups for talking during practice- tough love, he says Mrs. Nobil takes me Black Friday Shopping (the one retail experience my mom refuses) Senor Rolando, who lives next door shows me his vinyl records and teaches me Spanish in small snippets of conversation. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and I agree.
