I’m honestly still in shock. This young guy, probably around 17 years old, has no idea I took his picture while sitting here in the laundromat.
I had just put my clothes in the washer and walked a couple of blocks to grab something to eat. When I got back and opened the bag, I realized there were no plastic forks or knives inside. I was so upset. I had even asked the girl at the restaurant if she put the plastic utensils in, and she told me yes. I checked again, and still—nothing. I started quietly cursing under my breath.
I guess this kid heard me, because next thing I know, he gets up, walks out, and disappears down the street. I didn’t even say anything to him. A few minutes later, he comes back into the laundromat and hands me a plastic fork. He had walked a block and a half just to get it for me.
I was honestly blown away. I hadn’t asked him for help, and we hadn’t even spoken. I offered to buy him lunch to say thank you, but he smiled and said he was okay and didn’t need anything.
He told me he’s studying to become a stockbroker. I told him I hope I see his name in the news one day as one of the top 10 richest and most successful men in America.
Not every story ends badly… 😊
Wow. I’m still in awe of this kid!
