Blurbing

I want to blog more.

Really, I do! I just caught up on all my friends' blogs and it really helped motivate me.

One of the greatest things I notice was the fact that these posts were not long posts.... Rather they were "blurbs" of some event during the day. Well, shucks, I could do that! And I think that's how blogging SHOULD be... Blurbing!!

So here is my blurb from today:

You may have not noticed the smile I had on my face as your little three-year-old raced up to the counter to purchase his beloved candy bar; his young eyes tried to peer over the vast green edge that separated us. Overly excited, he threw his money pouch on the counter and proudly exclaimed, "Here's my money!!" The two of you smiled, amused by the brightness of your child in learning responsibility so early in life (which is becoming very important with this day and age).

You sneak some bills to me while he is digging through his coin pouch for the $1.04. As I gave you back the change, you pat the child on the head and say he did a good job.

He was devastated.

Desiring nothing more than to pay with his own money.

Tears may have been close to the horizon.

Then you handed him his candy bar and he lit up all over again, his devastation a forgotten memory.

"Thank you!" he proclaimed in a cute voice, walking away with the two of you in tow.

You may have not have noticed, but my smile lasted the entire day.
