Polite child with mask

Denise @petatonicsca (7070) • Japan 12 Jun 20

I love to see children randomly being polite to strangers. I was just riding my bike back from the store, when I (masked) approached three boys, probably about ten years old, who were obviously friends. One of them had his mask...

Checking out.

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169448) • United States 15 Feb 20

A guess if we think about it, anything can become a story. We shopped today. We had really nice cashiers at both stores. First we shopped at Wal Mart, and got most of my list. Our cashier was being particular about how she...
