On His Best Behavior

“I know what I forgot – sugar!” I exclaimed out loud on line at Key Food. I looked behind me and the sugar aisle was within eyesight. I looked at the line, and the gentleman standing directly behind me motioned with his arm for me to leave. 

“Really”? I asked.

 “Yes, go right ahead,” he said, with a smile.

 Dashing down the aisle, I grabbed a five-pound bag and ran right back.

 “The only way we are going to survive this,” I said to the man “is because of people like you. Thank you.”

 “You’re welcome,” he said and smiled again.
