Smol Humans Are Great

Hey y’all so I have a little story for you guys today cause it was the sweetest thing to me.

Before I went to work today, I got into a bit of a heckle with a family member about an anniversary event we had been planning for two weeks and it led me into a pretty bad panic attack where I sorta scratched up my arm. When I got to work I was filling shelves and helping customers and about halfway through my shift this little 4-5 year old girl bounds up to me- I mean full fricken force- and hugs me around my hips while grinning at me and saying hello.

I don’t know this child and I’m looking at the mother in confusion because stranger danger am I right?

But she just goes over and looks for shoes and the mom ends up coming up to me and saying “She said you looked sad and it looked like you needed a hug” and I nearly broke down right there because it was the sweetest thing and the girl made sure to give me a hug before she left and thank me for checking her out and she thanked her mom for paying for the shoes and my co-worker gave her a sticker and it’s just amazing how sometimes kids notice stuff and wanna help, even if it’s a stranger.
