Can I just tell you my cutest story ever?!

Okay, so I work at a kids clothing store & I have worked there for 4, almost 5 years. Yes, retail has made me somewhat bitter when it comes to angry moms, poopy diapers, return & coupon policies & the people who hate them, people who don't know what time the mall closes and don't care to notice that the music has turned off and the doors are shut and I'm giving them the stink eye. But! Every once in awhile, you will get a really friendly customer or an adorable baby that wants to play peek a boo and it makes the job not so annoying. Today had one of those rare occurrences.

The mailman brought in a letter, like normal. I glanced at it while walking over to give it to my manager and it looked different. But I didn't care too much. A little bit later, when my manager finally opened it, she discovered the sweetest letter ever! Which, this might not be very exciting to others, but it was to me!

A little girl wrote us a letter, basically thanking us for having such great clothes and for being so nice! K, seriously, this never happens! You don't understand, we deal with frustrated people all the time. So to receive a sweet letter from a cute little girl telling us how much she loves wearing our clothes made our day! Well, it made my whole weekend! She had all these cute little comments like, "My mom says they're reasonably priced!" Oh my gosh, I wish I could've typed the whole letter, so adorable. On my break, my manager and I wrote her back but it was pretty difficult because we really couldn't ask or write anything personal. We didn't want to come off like desperate stalkers to her mom. So, we pretty much just said thanks for being so nice... yadda yadda yadda. All in all, I now vow to make my children write random thank-you letters so that other people can feel the same joy I felt today.
