Random Act of Kindness: Day Twenty-six

Random Act of Kindness: Day Twenty-six
Our Mission: Gumball Treasure 
Our Location: ToysRus and Walmart 
Our Target: anyone who visits the gumballs machines for a 25-50 cent trinket. 


We were loaded with quarters but too late to add to the meters of patrons downtown (we'll save that for another Random Act) So we decided to go to Walmart and found the megaload of gumballs machines. We chose not to turn any with candy items but only those that had toy prizes. The boys got excited turning each one around, carefully checking to see if the toy had dropped down under each lid. One even dropped down a two for the price of one toy surprise! The boys were so delighted after we left Walmart that we went straight to ToysRus next door and left a little kindness in each of their prize gumball machines. The bigger prizes were 50 cents and smaller ones for 25 cents. Elliott said "how will they know it's a random act of kindness" And I said "well if they put money in the machine they will think they got two items" then I said "but if someone just comes along and lifts the lid, like some little ones like to do...then they will get a free prize" And I told them that "it is a free surprise for someone and who knows who will find them or if someone will find them all at one time!" Their eyes were wide and their imaginations were creating all kinds of scenarios about who would find the toys and what they might say when they discovered our hidden treasures. Random Acts of Kindness...sometimes it is all about the little things ♥ Not knowing who or when will find the surprise under each door, only that we were spreading kindness just a little more!!
