I WAS A BOOK FAIRY LAST NIGHT!
Last night while waiting for a script at CVS, a young mother and her adorable little girl were sitting at the pharmacy waiting for their script, too. The little girl was entertained by Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul. She was happily reading it aloud to her mother and all of us. It was so precious as she was just beginning to read at a higher l
evel.
The pharmacist called the mother to get her script and they went up to pay for it. The little girl wanted this book so badly, but the mother said she would have to wait because she didn't have enough $$ to buy it for her. Instant pout that ruptured my heart!
I went up behind them, handed the mother a few dollars to buy the book for the little girl. The little girl didn't miss a thing...she suspected what I did and said "Thank you, nice lady". I melted.
I was in such a doomy/gloomy mood all day and this is just what I needed to lift me up! Precious little girl now has a book to keep her occupied...instead of a TV!
Find your Chicken Soup for the Soul this weekend!
