Random Act of Kindness: Day Twenty-two
Our Mission: A wee bit of Irish Fun
Our Location: Barnes and Noble
Our Target: Two ladies sitting in the cafe having a wonderful conversation.
It is St. Patrick's Day and after a wonderful day at the Cub Scout derby we went out to an Irish Pub for dinner with the family. After dinner we were discussing what our random act of kindness would be, After the boys had a visit by a Leprechaun this morning and we were in the spirit to have some fun showing their grandparents a wee bit of fun with our Random Acts of Kindness. The boys wanted to take my parents on a Ding Dong Ditch after dinner tonight but because it was too dark we asked what other one would they like to do. The dessert surprise was the winner. We had Memaw as our accomplice. We went into Barnes and Noble cafe and saw several tables to choose from. Mom found a man sitting alone, Cooper pointed at a couple, Elliott pointed to the ladies. The ladies were having a very cheerful conversation and laughing..like two great friends catching up on each others lives. We ordered two Ultimate Chocolate Chunk with Caramel Brownies with a side of whipcream and chocolate drizzle. We gave the cafe clerk our handmade card and asked her to deliver the order to the two ladies by the window. We went and watched her deliver the sweet treats and watched them both smile as they both read the card. The boys were trying to show their Memaw how they are like "Secret Agents" and Cooper was trying to get closer and closer without being discovered. We decided that we better go look at books before we were spotted. While we were looking at books, Elliott was playing and having so much fun with these amazing puppets that a nice older lady stopped to play with him and struck up a conversation. She even put a bunny on her hand and said she was going to show her her husband how cute it is. I told Cooper that Elliott was performing another random act of kindness. He said "how?" I told him by talking to a stranger and how the two of them were having fun and being silly, smiling and having fun with the puppets was a random act of kindness in it's truest form ♥ That someone may have just walked by those puppets but Elliott made them look like so much fun that someone joined in with him! We bought a few books and out the door we went...and those two ladies were still sitting there at the window...with their desserts (partly eaten and boxed up to take home) Perhaps they too were going to take the rest home and share a random act of kindness too ♥
