A small kid stood in front of me at a convenience store today as I was trying to pay for gas as I was headed out of Memphis back to Hoots Commons.
He was tow-headed and about six-years-old.
“Today was say something nice about someone day at school, Mama,” he lisped.
“Did you say something nice.”
“I did. I said that I liked Amy’s laugh.”
“Well, that’s nice.” his mother said, laying a $10 on the counter.
“I also said we should always be nice,” he grinned. “We had cookies too. It was a pretty good day.”
I don’t know why, but that stuck with me today after I saw her get her change and lean down to give him a hug.
I think I sort of fell in love with both of them.

Yes, that was sweet. Kids can be very sweet when they are little…then they grow up.
lovely. and yes, any day with cookies is a pretty good day!
every day should be “say something nice about someone” day

Hey, I’m still sweet. Ask anyone.
Does saying something nice about yourself count? No?
Damn…..
I like Mable’s ears.
COOKIES ARE AWESOME!!!! That’s a very sweet story. Wish all kids would stay that sweet.
