Before I update with more Bubbie and Poppie pictures, I thought I'd share something wonderful that witnessed today.
We have a Meijer in town that I absolutely, positively loathe. It's the only major grocery store in town and it is always, always crowded. It takes just as long to get through the checkout lane as it does to get through the entire shopping list. I hate it and only reserve going there for absolute necessities. Today was one of those days. I had to go by myself with the kids.
We have strategic stopping points (read: bribes) throughout the store. The half-way point is the lobster tank where we stare and the poor guys and gals as they await their delicious fate. K and O of course do not know this fate, only that for some reason, live lobsters hang out at the grocery store.
The other stop, when we are all finished, is a ride on the mechanical horses. I cringe because of how disgusting and germ filled these horses likely are...it goes way past the "a little dirt don't hurt" theory. But, the kids love them and if it keeps them quiet through the checkout, we can always use purell and handiwipes.
Well, as we were loading back up in the cart to go out the car, a little old lady was hovering behind us. After we left, she quietly deposited coins into each horse so that whoever rode next would get a free ride. This really touched my heart. The rides are only one penny each, but it goes to show that kindness doesn't really cost a thing. If we all could be so sweet and thoughtful, wouldn't this world be a better place?
