Good deed
I did a good deed yesterday when Rufus and I were shopping. You can see that doing good deeds is such a rarity for me that I consider it newsworthy.
We were waiting in line at the grocery store with the usual schizophrenic assortment of food (junk for Rufus; healthy food for me — I swear the junkie shopping expedition last week is not my shopping norm!), and a girl got in line behind us. All she had was a bottle of champagne. I asked her if that was all she had, and she said yes, so I asked her if she’d like to go ahead of us. She was totally thrilled, since the Express lines were much longer than the non-Express lines. Also people hardly ever do that. Maybe we need those courtesy commercials at the movies after all. But hey, she was buying champagne. And she paid cash. A girl after my own heart.
