What a generous kid!

A couple days ago I was at my job as a grocery store cashier, and a mom and her little boy came in. The boy was about three or so years old, and was sitting in the seat of a shopping cart.

I scanned their groceries, including a box of frozen fruit pops, which the boy wanted to hold. Apparently, the fruit pops were a special treat for him. Off-handedly, i mentioned that the fruit pops looked good.

And continued my scanning of groceries. A few seconds later, I heard the little boy say, "Here you go" and hold out the box of fruit pops.

I have to admit, I was so incredibly happy as I said, "Oh, thanks, but I can't accept that". After having so many children scream bloody murder when I try to just scan an item that they're holding, the fact that this very little boy was mature and thoughtful enough to offer somebody his treat was really heartwarming.

That is so, so cute! An example of how to raise kids

That reminds me of the time I was working on Mother's day and a four-five-year-old girl came in with her mom. The little girl was so upset and distraught that I was working on mother's day that I had to assure her that I was going to see my mom later on that evening. I normally don't pay much attention to kids in my line, but she was just too sweet.

That's very cute! My little girl did something like that yesterday. We were in line to get our groceries and they were slammed for some reason (not a normal rush time) and the cashier and I were joking about it. She said her "lunch" break got pushed back but she didn't mind and she'd eat when it calmed down.

Well, my little girl had been incredibly good this week so I'd let her pick out a treat. She'd picked out chocolate peanut butter granola bars. As soon as they went through and I put them in the cart, she went for the bag. After I'd paid I heard her say "Here. You can have this until you get dinner!" My little one had opened her granola bars, pulled out two and was handing them to the cashier. The cashier tried to say no, but my girl is quite persuasive. I told the cashier it really was okay and she just laughed and thanked us.

Kids can be good ones.
