I Love to Write Stories

I know I just posted a story this morning... but I felt like sharing another. This one is a true story. Even though it happened a few months ago, I jotted this down.

Today at the store while in the checkout line....
A cute, little, excited black girl in the buggy ahead of me chimed out gleefully, "I’m seven years old! Are you a cowboy?"

(I was wearing the getup.. Hat, Shirt, Jeans, Boots, you know... the look... and she picked up on it. {{{Grins}}} ok, on with the story)

Me, "Yes Ma'am, I am!"
Lil Girl, "Do you have a horse?"
Me, "Yes Ma'am, sure do!"
Lil Girl, "Can I ride it?"
Me, " Don't think that would be a good idea sweetie, with you being so little!"
Lil Girl, "Oh."
Pause....
Lil Girl, " When I grow up I'm gonna get me a horse."
Me, " Yes Ma'am, that would be nice, I hope you do."
Lil Girl, "Why do you call me Ma'am? I'm just a kid!"
Me, "Good manners I reckon sweetie!"
Lil Girl, "I have to go now, Goodbye Mister Cowboy, I love you!"
Me, "Thank you sweetie, Bye!"
Me... BIG SMILE!

That's all folks... but it did bring a big smile tomy face and still does when I think about it... (((Smiling again)))
