Bud's pretend mother added brown sugar to his oatmeal.
A Thoughtful Addition to Breakfast
During Bud's stay with his pretend family, his pretend mother demonstrated a thoughtful gesture at breakfast. Before adding the sweetener to Bud's oatmeal, she first inquired if her own children would mind sharing some of their brown sugar. Despite their visible reluctance and pouting, she proceeded to pour a generous portion—specifically, a third of the sugar—into Bud's bowl.
The Impact of Kindness
This act of kindness resonated deeply with Bud. In response, he sincerely thanked her and, moved by her warmth, addressed her as "momma." This heartfelt acknowledgment from Bud brought a moment of joy and laughter to his pretend parents, highlighting the positive connection forming despite the circumstances. The woman's generosity, even in the face of her own children's mild protest, underscored her nurturing character and made Bud, referred to as "Clarence" by the family, feel genuinely cared for.
