The Magic Little Old Lady at the Grocery Store

    Today big Ls sleep was off.  She woke up at 8:30 and so would not take a nap.  I've been putting off going to the grocery store for a while now so we really needed to go.  

    Since we did not get a nap I was not too surprised about big Ls attitude at the store.  She did not want to stay in the car part so I put her in the front part.  She was upset about this.  She then got upset about the cereal I was buying.  She then threw another fit about the juice I was going to buy her.  

   We are at the self check out with big L crying, me ignoring her and trying to check out as fast as I could.  This little old lady comes up and amazes me.  She asks "are those real tears?".  She then tells her "you need to be good and help your mom out".  Big L's attitude changed right away and a minute later she wanted to help me with the check out.  So we finished our shopping trip on a happy note with her in the basket handing me food to scan.  

    I don't know your name, little old lady, but you are Magic and I am very appreciative of you!  Thank you!
