Walking back from the supermarket with my nephew.
Got him some chocolate dipped chocolate chip ice cream
drumstick.
He was walking real slow, enjoying his ice cream and occasionally
smiling at me when I looked back and wait for him to catch up. That
smile....with my hat perched on his head against the evening sun,
the ice creams smudged on his nose, mouth and chin.
Then when I figured he might need a lift, I squat down and he will
come running over and I piggy back him. Little Tyke, when asked if
he is tired, will always say NO. But I know he appreciate the piggy
back ride, especially on the uphill walk.
Then we chance upon a mexican lady and possibly her 4/5 year old
grandson. I offer the remaining pieces of ice cream (Its 4 ice
cream drumstick in a box)to the grandma for her kid. The boy was
sooo happy even before the ice cream was popped up for him. his
thank you and his smile was so loud & bright.
And when we made our way in our estate, folks was just starting to
walk their dogs, and I have just purchased a huge box of doggie
treats. Little boy was able to offer treats to so many doggies
along the way. There was 2 little gals, who asked me separately at
different occasions why I have dog treats with me when I dont have
a dog.
My answer was very simple: I always tries to have dog treats on me,
so that little boy can feed the dogs as and when we encounter
dogs.
Its good that I bring little boy out too. Cos sis and little gal
got a much needed nap in the house too.
