Blog Entry: This is a bit humorous... and it is a true story... I was in the check ot line at the grocery store and of course I had on blue jeans, a blue jean shirt, my cowboy boots and my cowboy hat... I met a sweet young chld there and it made my day... when I got home, I wrote this... I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed being in the moment! Today at the store while in the checkout line.... A cute, little, excited black girl in the buggy ahead of me, "I’m seven years old! Are you a cowboy?" Me, "Yes Ma'am, I am!" Lil Girl, "Do you have a horse?" Me, "Yes Ma'am, sure do!" Lil Girl, "Can I ride it?" Me, " Don't think that would be a good idea sweetie, with you being so little!" Lil Girl, "Oh." Pause.... Lil Girl, " When I grow up I'm gonna get me a horse." Me, " Yes Ma'am, that would be nice, I hope you do." Lil Girl, "Why do you call me Ma'am? I'm just a kid!" Me, "Good manners I reckon sweetie!" Lil Girl, "I have to go now, Goodbye Mister Cowboy, I love you!" Me, "Thank you sweetie, Bye!" Me... BIG SMILE!
