The joy of a toy
Scene: the Target on Bridford Parkway, Sunday afternoon
An adorable little girl, about 2 years old, was shopping with her family. In her hands, she clutched a new "toy" -- a full size, plastic-wrapped mop. She dragged it along the store's dusty floors with a bright smile and obvious glee on her face.
I wish I could fast forward a dozen years to see if she greets the mop with such joy as a teenager.
