Glad I Didn't Leave Him Hangin'

in life •  7 years ago 

Highlight of my day - This little boy, probably not much more than one year old, walked up to the counter of my shop, his arm extended and his fist clenched. I thought maybe he was holding something in his hand, so I reached out across the counter and offered my hand, with my palm facing up. But he was too short to reach me (or I was too short to reach him), so he toddled around to the behind the counter where I was sitting, other fist now clenched.

Taking a wild guess, I in turn offered him my closed hand as well, and ... he fist bumped me. His eye lit up and he smiled the best smile I've seen in a long time, then he turned around and with legs too short to bother bending them at the knees, he toddled back out into the store.

Day. Made.
