So this kid is standing in my line today, and I asked him:
"Did you get a lot of candy last night?"
So he says:
"No I didn't go Trick-or-Treating last night."
I replied:
"Why Not?"
He says:
"I didn't have a suit."
I'm thinking 'religious family' or 'too old' to be trick or treating.
"Couldn't you have put some fake blood on your face?"
He then says
"My house burned down"
So I'm like
"Duuude, I am so sorry."
His mom walks up at that moment.
"To the ground" she says
"We didn't have insurance because we were renting."
"Everything was lost."
"It may come as small consolation" I finally say "But we are collecting money for the Red Cross to help people in your situation exactly." as I pull an inch-thick stack of $1 donations out of my accordian file. "And I'm asking everybody"
The smile she shot me was worth a million donations.
