my good news for the day [View all]
a friend and I decided to take a little stress-relieving drive earlier today. we took a break for lunch, and came out to discover that the battery was dead (and she had forgotten to put the jumper cables back in her car). Two of the other patrons spent several minutes searching their truck for jumper cables, but could not find them. A couple of minutes later, a young woman and her two children came out, and offered to help. While they were hooking up the cables, the young son (about 8 or 9) offered to start his mother's vehicle, swearing he knew how. We all told him how much we appreciated his offer, but his mother suggested that perhaps she ought to do it.
A few minutes later, thanks to the kindness of strangers in a stranger town, we were on our way--with smiles for the boy who insisted he knew how to operate the vehicle.
