Didn't your Mama tell you to mind your own business?

So, as its our custom on most days that I am home Nikki and I went for a walk today around Arundel Mills. To be honest I did not want to walk today...but most days we wake up and I ask/prod/force her to go walking and today she woke up ready to walk. When we get there she usually gets the kids out and I'll get the stroller...well today in the process of taking the Destiny out Nikki slammed her finger in the door of the truck. At this point I was on the side walk with TJ and look around and see Nikki drop Destiny and the diaper bag next to the vehicle. She then screaming walks into the street and doubles over. I have no clue what in the world is the problem at this point and realize I needed to rescue destiny then deal with Nikki. I finally was able to get Nikki out of the street and onto the side walk but she was still screaming (don't tell her...she thought she handled it well) and crying.

So By now you are wondering why am I telling you about my wife's pain....So here it is: Several people walked by and NOT ONE stopped or even looked remotely concerned that this woman was on teh side walk crying. A few gave me the look of 'you abuser' other hurried by and tried not to look. BUT no one found it in their heart to even glance sympathetically...one lady even saw us in teh mall later and still gave me the evil eye.

So here is my question: Why is it so easy to MIND our OWN Business and pass judgement....BUT so hard to ask if someone is truly ok. Suppose there were right and I was beating my wife...is it OK to see that and not try to help? Let me know what you think.

PS. Nikki (the big baby) is OK now. She finally realizes that there is no way she could have been a football player (her life's dream).
