Random Act of Kindness Day Fifteen

Random Act of Kindness: Day Fifteen
Our Mission: Operation Bookworm
Our Location: Barnes and Noble
Our Target: An unsuspecting boy/girl in the children's book section.

We went into Barnes and Noble and instantly saw a young girl looking at two books that she was debating on which one to get (her head was going back and forth as if she was saying eenie meenie miney moe) We watched her place the books back on the shelf and we quickly grabbed the book and had a book seller assist us. The bookseller said "There are still good people in this world" :) The book was dropped off and we hear her say "OH, how cool!" and she read the note that Cooper had written. Then we saw her dad come over and asked what happened. She told him and then about 5 minutes later we ran into them and the father asked did we "do it". I said "do what" and he said his daughter just got a free book...I said that is awesome but we were looking for their dad. And off we went, the dad kept asking the booksellers to find who bought the books so he could thank them. Then we spotted a young boy who was asking the bookseller about Ronald Dahl books and he found what he was looking for. We quickly found another copy and went to get his book. Then we looked back and saw both he and his mother were in line. We asked the two ladies in front of us if we could jump in line because we were paying for a book for someone in line. They ladies let us go ahead (we thanked them for helping us) A different book seller was there and we told him the book was for the boy and his mother, that they were going to be purchasing this same book and not to let them buy it but to give them our bag. We placed Elliott's card in the bag and then we went to the clearance books and watched them approach the cashier. We heard the mom say "That was so nice" and the young boy read the card. She asked too, for a description of who did it so she could thank us. The booksellers were very helpful to not blow our cover. The boys shared on the way home that they were going to do Random Acts of Kindness with their kids. I told them that I hope that they will always remember this time and that I love that they want to pass this tradition onto their children. Then they asked me when I am a Grandma would I do Random Act of Kindness with them. I said Yes I would. Cooper said "You are going to be the coolest Grandma" and Elliott said "she already is the coolest mom" ♥
