A Good Stranger

Mackenzie asked to stop at the dollar store on the way home from dinner.  We stopped and Dharma saw this cute little solar powered flower display.  She was talking about them, and playing with them.  She asked if she could buy one, and I told her maybe next time.  A woman in the store came over and was talking to Dharma about the flowers and Dharma showed the lady which was her favorite.

We finished up there and left.  We had gotten to the car, buckled ourselves (and Dharma) in and I was just about to put the car into drive when we heard someone yelling "Wait! Stop!" and running at us with a bag.  It was the woman from inside the dollar store.  She had bought Dharma the flower that she had said was her favorite.  The woman said her grandkids live so far away and she never gets to see them, and it would make her happy if we'd let her give the flower to Dharma.

Dharma was so happy and said that lady was a good stranger.  Mackenzie on the other hand just said "Oh you have GOT to be kidding me!"
