there are still kind strangers...

Every once in a while you hear a great story about random acts of kindness, or experience one for yourself that make you realize there are nice people in the world still. Well, this is just such a story.

so, on Friday night, a pizza man came to my house. We didn't order a pizza and after checking the receipt that he had the right address but the previous owners on the slip we were both stumped as to what to do. I jokingly said I would take the pizzas but I didn't want to pay for them. He surprised me by saying he had no problem with that and he would check with the store. So he went to his car and talked on his cell for a few minutes. After that he drove away, so I assumed he was told the right address or that he was not allowed to do such a thing. Anyway, so today, my doorbell rings again and its the same pizza man. He is holding a pizza and says to me that he knows I didn't order a pizza but he felt terrible that he couldn't leave the last one, especially after seeing my 3 year olds face when she saw pizza. She looked so sad when he walked away that he just felt awful. So we they had another mix up and he wanted to bring it to us. Wow! Talk about sweet!! He said to just think of it as a random act of kindness and it made his day to put a smile back on the face of my little girl. So Kennedy thanked him and then we went and ate some pizza!!
