So since our arrival here in the great south west, we have enjoyed many sweet surprises--the church, the weather, the quick-developing friendships....and some of us have acquired a little fan club. Little in every respect. Except in energy.
There is a 3 year old little boy in our church that has found Minnie to be one of his favorite people. And this little boy is a passionate fellow. He plays intensely, lives passionately...and drops like a puppy at the end of the day.
Recently after church we were going to go out to lunch with this family. The little boy, C., asked if he could ride with Minnie. His mom told him we didn't have a car seat. Oh how his face fell! He walked away slowly, head hung low as the moms continued to discuss the car situation.
Turns out the moms decided Minnie could ride with C in his car.
As he walked back to his dad, he said , oh so sadly, "I just want to ride with Minnie." The dad knew of the new car situation and said , "Hey buddy, Minnie is going to ride with you, in our car."
He stopped.
He looked at his dad again to make sure he heard correctly....trying to wrap his brain around this fortuitous turn of events.
And then he let out a whoop with both fists raised in victory......whoooo hoooooo!!!
Quite a little fan club. We are all trying not to be jealous.
