Comments on: So Darn Medium http://www.daringyoungmom.com/2008/06/30/so-darn-medium/ On Her Flying Trapeze - Blog of Seattle-Area Mom, Kathryn Young Thompson Sat, 31 Dec 2011 21:14:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: KYouell http://www.daringyoungmom.com/2008/06/30/so-darn-medium/comment-page-1/#comment-219293 KYouell Sun, 06 Jul 2008 22:47:48 +0000 http://www.daringyoungmom.com/?p=807#comment-219293 The fact that it made an impression on her makes me want to do something nice for strangers. You never know what little kid is going to notice. I already let single people with just a few items go ahead of us in line (especially at Target!) unless my kids are melting down, which is rare. But when I do that I'm thinking I'm setting an example for my children. Now I'm going to be thinking about the kid one aisle over who is bored and watching us. It's good to have other mamas' backs like that. Just thinking about the next person I can ambush with kindness is making me smile.

It’s good to have other mamas’ backs like that. Just thinking about the next person I can ambush with kindness is making me smile.

It's hard to keep a positive attitude--which is why we try to vacation in town! Way to have a sweet little girl, though. I don't think kids learn to be perceptive like that without seeing it from their parents. Traveling with kids can be miserable if anything goes wrong (not to mention multiple things).

I hope that she knows that the sweet old lady isn't still standing there, waiting for one last cab. Poor little girl.

She reminds me of my own little boy, who is always concerned about other people. It was SO nice of that lady to see your need and help you out. People should do that more often.
