A Strawberry Sundae

Today has been a rather wonderful day thus far. This morning I went out for breakfast with two very special people in my life and then I did a couple of errands. I decided to hang out at the mall for something to do rather than sitting at home on my duff doing nothing in particular. So walking around the mall produced some exercise and a gift for another wonderful couple. I decided to have an ice cream and then sit down to enjoy it. Yes I admit that I had a treat. Anyway I was eating my ice cream from Marble Slab, yes it was tasty. I saw a couple from my church walk by, so we exchanged a few words. I was the only person sitting in this section of seats and I was sitting by DQ. Then this father and little girl of about 6 years comes and sits down. Dad with his lemonade and daughter with a Strawberry Sundae. They were chit chatting and then the little girl pipes up. "Do you know our names?" After I clued in that she was talking to me, I replied "No I don't." Then she introduces them and then proceeded to ask me my name. She said my name outloud as if you make sure see remembered it. She continued eating her ice cream as her and her dad chatted. When I finished up my ice cream I bid them farewell by saying "Merry Christmas", and said to the little girl "be sure you go to sleep right away on Christmas Eve." She said yep and then I was up and off. A moment later, "Bye Christina!" I turned and waved. I was so odd to me, but at the same time to sweet to have that little encounter today. If you don't know me already children and elders are my heartbeat. I can't get enough of them and they are the people who get the most abuse because they are often so helpless and vulnerable. I just had to write about this so I would not forget something so wonderful.
