I reblogged for that^
I posted this almost two months ago, it started off at 72 notes and then stopped. About three days ago it blew up again and has circulated ALL the way around tumblr 30k+ times aaaaaaaaaaaaaand landed right on my dash again.
Tumblr is like opening your fridge. If you don’t see something that interests you, you lower your standards and try again. And even when you’re not hungry, you open that door. Simply because you don’t want to do anything else.
(I’m running errands for my pregnant wife. While walking to a nearby store, I see two teenagers harassing a child that is only four or five years old. I shoo them away from the boy, and he introduces himself.)
Me: “So, where’s your mom at?”
Boy: “She’s in the store. Do you have kids?”
Me: “Not yet. We’re expecting a baby girl soon, though.”
Boy: “Well, she’s going to turn out nice, like you! So, I’m going to marry her someday!”
(I laugh, and play along while I bring him to the service desk, and wait until his mom picks him up. Six years later, my daughter comes home from school and introduces us to a friend that defended her against a bully on the playground. I didn’t recognize him, but he certainly knew who I was!)
