Read a post on an American blog about encouraging kids to do these random acts of kindness.... but someone did one to us this week, and she didn't know she'd done it .....
We were doing a small amount of supermarket shopping this week, and there was a special offer on rotisserie chickens at only £1.21. A good price for a quick lunch and plenty left over for another meal and a share with the cats. When Mr Mac got to his place at the counter, no more left, now priced at £5 plus. It's not that we can't afford that price, but I can knock up a lunch for much less than that, and it was only the bargain price that had caught Mr Mac's eye in the first place! So a quick no thank you and he continued on his way.
A quick tug at his sleeve came next. The lady who had bagged the last cheap chicken said "have this one, I live on my own and I will be eating it for days - I was only attracted by the knock-down price!" Mr Mac tried several times to say no, but she insisted and went on her way smiling - he brought the chicken over to me, and we had a lovely hot chicken lunch with some crusty bread, with lots left for other things. THANKS that lady!!
