One time, I was coming out of Target. Gabi and I had just bought a bunch of awkward materials for a school project (with which I ended up having more fun than she did

). And just as I get the stuff into the back of my SUV, I'm telling Gabi to get in the car so I can find a basket corrall. I didn't want her "helping" me find one because we'd almost gotten mowed down earlier by an Excursion driving like a maniac in the parking lot a little earlier.

Just as I start to shut the hatch and look around for the corrall, here comes Cute Dad and Adorable Boy. This adorable 7 year old boy in his karate duds touches the corner of my basket and asks, "Ma'am, would you like me to take that inside for you?"
Me:

!!!
Gabi: Cool! You do karate!?
And then they had a great 7-year-old conversation about karate and Kim Possible while I stood there like... are you guys for real? I finally sputtered out a 'Yes... thank you!' Restores my faith that everyone is not an oblivious lazy bum waiting for the shopping basket fairy to clean up their crap.
