A Cold Drink, a Hot Day, and a Great Smile!

--by megs, posted Dec 21, 2007

At my son's school, the traffic is so hectic, they have a traffic director to help the parents get in and out of the school parking area safely.

Last week, I noticed how hot is was outside when I went to pick up my son. The traffic director was sweating!! It just so happened that I had packed an extra bottle of cold water before going to pick up my son.

As I handed the bottle of water out of the window to the traffic director (along with a smile card of course), the look on her face was absolutely priceless!! I kept looking back in my rear view mirror as I drove away, and as long as I could see her, she was still smiling! : )

I bet that traffic director was smiling all day! :-)
