OT Moments in Walmart-Teamwork!!

Preparing for a party last night I had to go to Walmart.  So doing some shopping I see this mother trying to get her son..about 9, to stand at the buggy while she walked across the isle, (this is the freezer section and food on each side of isle, not like she was leaving the child) the isles were very crowded and hard for her to move the buggy to go price check each thing, y'all have been there I am sure)

Anyhow the boy kept walking over to look at different things and mom said, you have to stand at buggy.  But why mom? I just want to look at things.
I was passing the boys buggy at this time and said, because, Moms purse is in the buggy and someone like me could reach over and take it...(I reached over as though I was gonna pick up her bag)
the boy grinned at me...but I know you, you work at my school, you wouldn't take moms bag...
Unknown to me was a LARGE man behind me and he said in a grizzly voice...
What about me boy...  You think I might like moms bag?
The boys eyes popped out big and he grabbed the buggy

LOL the mom smiled a thank you too us as we passed, the man and I laughed a bit after we got away from the boy, who could be seen holding firmly to the buggy as his mom shopped :)

LOL  TEAMWORK!!!! 

LOVE IT :)

What a priceless lesson!  I wish I had teachers like you growing up :) Thanks for sharing

Very cute story. Very good lesson taught.

Don'tcha just love it when a total stranger picks up your vibe and gives you an "assist" like that!  Serves to remind us that most people in this world are really good.

It takes a village!

..... and the guy behind the big guy said:" Danngit, I almost got that purse...meddlers"
