The Kindness of Two Strangers on Pizza Night

"Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me?  And why should I not speak to you?
~  Walt Whitman

On a recent Friday night, a couple of mom friends and I gathered our families for our usual pizza night at a local restaurant.  On this particular night, we were celebrating the birthday of one of my friend's children.  As we were putting together a couple of tables to fit our entire party, an older couple sitting close by asked us if we needed their table because they would be happy to move.  We thanked them for their kindness, but said that we did not need another table.  It did occur to me that they might be happier moving away from our rather raucous party, but I kept that to myself.
