I just had the most wonderful experience. Picture this; I
was shopping in Ralph’s grocery store, wearing the same Santa hat that is in my
profile picture. Also wearing a red shirt and suspenders, and riding around in
a electronic shopping cart (I am disabled). Combine that with my body type
being “fluffy” in nature, I drew attention. Unknowingly wheeling down the aisle
to pick up some last minute stocking stuffers, I did not notice the trail of
children that was following me through the store.
When I came to a complete stop, they gathered round. Not
saying a word just surrounding me with bright smiles. After verifying that they
had been good all year, I pulled some chocolate coins out of the air and
presented them to each child, (with the nod of approval from the parents who
were also now gathered round).
Seeing a child smile can make the world a very nice place to
be.
