Strawberries and Strangers

Tonight, I went to Sonic. Strawberry Cream Slushes are my favorite. It was late and fairly busy for only two workers. I waited in the drive-thru for longer than usual. But I didn't care too much.

I got my drink and the girl who delivered it to me asked me a question. This started a 2 minute conversation. Two minutes, I'm sure, were precious for such a busy night. And, in that two minutes, I was grateful for the simple kindness of a stranger. I wish I were more like that.

  1. And that's why we all go to Sonic, right?? They're real people! (And they remember we're real people, too!)

    Cream slushes are my favorite, too! I don't know if I have a favorite flavor... Maybe cherry...
