Shopping and a Smile

I have been in isolation like most of the world, but the other day I had to go shopping. I saw a black boy shopping with his mother. He was about 12, dark skin, nice features. A handsome child, he was also shopping with his little sister she was crying loud it was easy to see that the mother was frustrated. I was behind them in line, the mother got upset at the checker and accused him of "slamming" her items into the bag.




The black preteen boy just stood there silently while his mother raged on. I think he was embarrassed and just wanted to get out as soon as possible. After they finished and it was my turn, the checker starts bagging my groceries and the woman comes back in with her son and daughter.




 I thought "uh oh, what's wrong now?" but I was also glad to see this cute dark skinned, black boy again. The mother apologized and briefly explained that she had a long day. It ended all in smiles, including the black boy who flashed a big smile with his nice white teeth.
