Story Number Two

Story Number Two:
My mom told me a story of when she was a young girl. She was babysitting some kids while their parents were out of town. They left my mom money to take the kids to the movies. Everyone was excited. They parked their car and gave the keys to the attendent and headed for the movie. They got all the fun stuff like popcorn and soda. My mom had used up all the money. My mom and the kids went to get the keys to the car and the attendent asked her for $1.50. My mom had no idea that you had to pay for parking. She was so embarrased. What am I going to do, she thought. I have no money left. There was a woman behind my mom waiting in line. She stepped forward and handed my mom the money for parking...with a smile. My mom was so gracious and to this day has never forgotten that woman that helped her. My mom has taken that random act of kindness with her and has payed it forward a dozen times over.
