He Gave me a Smile

Last month I wrote about requesting a smile from a crying toddler.  Last week I had the reverse experience.

I had to return some books to college book store.  When I was about to knock on the door of the office, a little boy of about 6 or 7 got my attention.  He said, “I’ve got a name tag.”  He beamed with a big smile as he showed me the tag, “Follett’s Book Store. “  I said, “Mr. Bookstore, I’m so glad to meet you. I have a name tag, too.  Would you like my business card to remind you of my name?”

He was the son of the person I was planning to see.  He smiled and I smiled back.

Thanks for sharing the smile.
