A Christmas Story

[sailsmen]

This a.m. went to the RaceTrack with the wife to get Gasoline and Ice.

I am pumping our car when I notice the young Lady on the island across from me is walking around her SUV and looking in the windows. I notice some movement inside the SUV.

I say Mam do you need some help to which she replies I locked my keys in my car and my child is inside it. I advise it's very cool and she responds any other time of year and I will be concerned. She advises my husband is on his way with another set of keys.

When I finish pumping I park right across from her SUV. I walk over and tell her that my wife and I will stay until your husband arrives in case something changes.

I tell her I have lots of tools* in my car. She responds you don't have too. I answer it's Christmas. She says thank you!

The husband arrives and unlocks the doors. She checks on her child and then hugs her husband, she briefly cries.

She takes her child out of the car and holds him with her husband at her side facing me. He says thank you, but she can't because she is holding back the tears. They all 3 wave good bye.

I hail Merry Christmas!!!

*I keep a Truckers Tire "Checker" in my vehicle, see pic.
