A Sweet Afternoon

--by megs, posted Feb 14, 2008

Last week, I had stopped to get the mail before going to pick up my son from school. Included in my mail was a coupon for a free chocolate bar. After picking up my son, I saw a student sitting all alone on the side walk waiting to be picked up. I thought it would be a good idea to offer her the free coupon. She flashed a big smile when I handed it to her and said thanks.

When my son and I returned home, what did we see in the refrigerator?!? The same exact candy bar. I guess my husband had gone to the store the night before!!! : )

What goes around comes around. It was a sweet afternoon indeed! : )
