I was having a rough day; the kids were both sick and extremely whiny. I realized we’re out of milk or something I couldn’t wait for, and so off to Target I went with both kids in tow.
We’re standing in line, they’re both whining and crying, and they’re causing a fuss. I have nothing with me because I just ran to get the one item I needed. I’m having a hard time with them but keeping myself together because we’re in public, and I don’t want to be “that guy.”
A lady taps me on the shoulder and says, “Hey, I see they’re giving you a hard time. I have some snacks; would it be okay to give them something?” I said sure; they each picked something from her bag and cooperated enough that I could get rung up and out the door.
I saw her in the parking lot, and I said, “Thank you very much; I really appreciate it.” She just said to me, “No problem, we’ve all had days like that. You’re doing awesome.
