Since I’ve started going out and about with Carolyn – mainly shopping – I’ve noticed a lot of things. Like the fact that most people are really nice and helpful. I’ve had more people run ahead to open doors for me in the past three weeks than in my entire life. Today, at the food court at the mall, a gentleman asked if he could carry my tray to a table so I could push the stroller more easily. I’ve even had people wave me ahead of them in line.
People, this is holiday shoppers we’re talking about – these people are the reason I generally stay as far away from the mall after November 1st as I can. But you know what? They’re actually nice, deep down inside. Oh, wait, maybe they’re just being nice because my baby is the cutest baby ever? I suppose that’s fine, I still get the fringe benefits!
(Oh, and one more shopping trip ought to finish off the holiday gifts. All except Denis, that is – I have no idea what I’m getting him yet…)
