Learning at the Door
I just answered my doorbell to a most charming young man. With a little prompting from his dad, he introduced himself as James. He said his school was having a bar-b-que and would I like to buy a ticket.
Knowing this was a great opportunity for a little learning for a young salesman , I asked a couple of answerable questions. "When is the bar-b-que?" I asked.
"It's October, Saturday, six," he replied without coaching.
"And how much are the tickets?" I said, asking a second answerable question.
"$10 for adults and five for children," I believe he answered. I sort of stopped listening after the adult part since I have no children at home anymore.
Of course I had absolutely no choice but to buy a ticket. How can I resist when it's a child and for a school function? His dad gave me a quick rundown on the school, how it was doing and their building plans while I found the $10 for my ticket.
I have no idea if I'm even in town that day, but whether I am or not a school gets support and a child has an opportunity to be successful. What a nice way to begin a day.
