Of Friends and Favors   

Of course.

Tova isn’t a good friend of mine, but our paths cross often enough. Her daughter is a cutie, and I like doing favors for people.

Two days later she asked again. Again, I was glad to do a favor.

Then she asked the next day, and two days after that.

Then came the text: Do you think you could bring my daughter home every day? It’s just so hard to get out of the house at that time with the baby’s schedule.… Baruch Hashem life is just so busy.
