― Bo Bennett
A woman I
know was turning into a fast-food restaurant to get her children a quick snack before the afternoon's activities. As she paused momentarily to let another car
out of the restaurant's parking lot, a man in a truck behind her honked his
horn, apparently because she was not moving quickly enough. As she got in the drive-thru lane, she
noticed that the man was still behind her.
When she paid for her children's food, she paid for the man's
order as well. As she stopped at the
second window to pick up her order, she saw that the man was waving at her with
a smile. The good that she felt from countering his impatience
with kindness replaced the small trace of annoyance that she might have otherwise felt over their brief encounter.
