Off-Topic / What if you were this man

Once upon a time: McDonalds was selling beenie babies with a purchase of a happy meal. People were visiting all McDonalds in the area to get diffrent beenie babys and there was sooo much food being trashed, no one wanted the meal just the beenie. Late at night a father came in with his little daughter, their clothes looked dirty and she was in a little dress dirty also. Holding her hand and looking lost, as we were in the long lines waiting for the stupid beenie baby. Finally a few folks asked him what he was doing and he said reluctantly and scared. "Uh.. Some people told me that they are giving free food out around here??)
I was thinking holy S@#$ this whole time all of us been just throwing tons of burgers,fries and drinks away!! This guy just wants to feed his daughter a happy meal! Needless to say we all tried to give him alot but he only took 2 for him and 2 for his little daughter. It was like she never got that and that night she finally got one. The humility of this man choked me up and made me think what I take for granted. Could I have De-Prided my self to go ask a crowd that for food? What if I was him. I got kids too and they are my life. When I cannot provide for them I wanna die. When I left there I had a hard time throwing away my happy meals as the trashcan there and all other McDonalds cans were overflowing with happy meals.
