Today a pleasant thing happened. I have a conference next week, for which I am expected to be dressed in formals. Another opportunity to shop. No girl leaves that...
Well Kakes and me decided to go in the morning. Initially we decided lets go to the normal big shops and get a couple of shirts and done walk out... But as we climbed down the staircase, somehow I had doubts, next what plan change... destination charity shops. On the street next to our place, we have this entire row of charity shops, so we decided to get in one after the other. One over, two over, three over and so was our patience. I did get a couple of things but I was looking for some thing different. Finally, we walked into the fourth shop.
Searching the racks, finding our way through the crowd, saying "I am sorry" , "Excuse me please" and a few polite smiles here and there. But what caught my attention was one boy. He too was there to shop. He and his precious bike. His mother was selecting clothes for her and him. He seemed more interested in everyone else around. I waved at him. He was really really cute. Could not resist I said "Hi" to him. No response... I didn't give up. I waved again.. and this time I finally got a smile back. Aahhha.... It made my day.
A nice little toothy smile from a two year old boy... I said a "Hi" to him again. This time he gives me a shy smile and was so shy later that he tried hiding behind his mother and while he did that, he forgot he was on his small bike and he needed to get down before he could hide... and he toppled down...
In embarrassment of being watched by Kakes and me he immediately looked away but not before smiling again...
This made my day... a cute little boy, on his cute little bike, with a cute little smile... who for me is the boy who fell...
