“Literally just had the craziest thing happen to me at Walmart.

So, I got off work from working 6 a.m. – 9 p.m. and going back in at 4 a.m. tomorrow. I decide to run to the store and get some things for work tomorrow. While still in my work clothes mind you! While I’m at the store there is a family there with what looked like a 15-year-old and a 6-year-old little boy.

As I walk behind them the little boy starts making funny faces at me. So, me being the father, I am making some faces back! The little boy starts laughing and as his parents look back at me in my dirty work clothes the proceed to rush out of the aisle. I don’t think anything of it until I hear them the next aisle over.

I can hear them basically scalding their oldest child telling them that if they don’t go to college, they will look like me. Never have any money and so on and so forth. Long story short, coincidentally we are both checking out at the same time. The kids are asking for candy bars and their parents are pretty much yelling at them that they don’t have enough money to buy them.

So, what do I do? I proceed to buy each kid two of the candy bars they were asking for and their parents look at me in disbelief and tell me I didn’t have to do that.

I responded with, ‘I know I didn’t have to do that, but I had extra money and wanted to share it with someone today!’

What I’m trying to say is just because someone is in dirty clothes, looks like ass, and probably smells like it too. Doesn’t mean they don’t make good money and have a good heart!

Don’t judge a book by its cover!”
