Tiny Kindnesses

Waiting to board my flight to Chicago, I was in the bathroom getting ready. I already woke up at 4:30 this morning, why would I wake up any earlier if I can put on makeup at the airport? So there I was, and the only other people in the bathroom were this mother/daughter duo. Mom, having the same idea as me, was getting also getting ready for the day, and the little girl was playing with her earring.

All of a sudden, she drops the earring back, and couldn't find it, so of course, she's upset. She's throwing a bit of a fit, which, I don't blame her. It is really early, and to have the day start off losing a precious earring back is not ideal. Well, her mother just had her take off the earring and left to the seating area. I decided to take a look on my way out, and I saw the tiny earring back just sitting in the grout. At least, I think it was hers. I returned it to the girl, who was on the phone with her father, and as I walked away, I hear her telling her father. She referred to me as "the lady."

Well, I hope it was her earring back. At least, I hope I made her feel a little better about a 6:30 am flight. =)
