When I go to the post office I enjoy the opportunity to people watch, and it is a small intimate place so conversations are often too close to not hear. ......
Today, a mom who had been wrestling with a package trying to get it to fit into a priority box, got a call on her bright pink phone about her daughter, whom it sounded like, had just gotten sick at home and the person taking care wasn't sure what to do next, hence the call to the mom. She reassured that she would be right home, but in the meantime to draw a warm bath and check for a fever.
......
As I was listening I felt a wave of the comfort of childhood go over me, being completely taken care of, playing on my mind, falling asleep without to do lists looming...it was a warm moment.

Wouldn't it be nice if all the conversations we overheard made us feel like that!
Love this post...every little bit! xo
So funny to listen on conversations while standing in line... at the post office or super market. It amazes me, some of the things one can overhear.... well, not like I am Snoopy Mcsnoopersen, or anything.
The funniest thing I every overheard was a mom saying (in a rather exasperated tone) to her small son, "I can't keep up with you! One day you want to wear a sailor hat and the next day you want a monkey!"
I still smile when I think of that! So happy you have such warm childhood memories, dear daughter...
Gorgeous :)
