My husband was making omelets for dinner tonight, and half way through the prep he realized that we didn't have enough eggs. He dashed off to the convenience store while the veggies slowly sauteing in the pan.. According to his report on the shopping trip, the woman ahead of him at the cash register had many items to his one. More frustrating was that she came up a $1.25 short. As she started to return to her car to rummage around for more money, my husband quickly offered to cover the cost.
Was it the need to get back to the half cooked meal? Or was it kindness? More importantly, if it was kindness, do I get to consider it this evening's blog entry? When pressed for details about his decision making process, he admitted he was mostly driven by the pressure to get home to his cooking. He did however add that were it not for this kindness commitment, he would not have thought to offer to help with the bill.
So, after careful consideration, and the absence of any other acts today, I'm taking credit.
Interesting to note how often food is associated with kind acts, eh?

Food, trash, and money. That about sums it up.
