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!
