The Velveteen Ocelot

A small, strange thing happened to me today.

A nice thing, actually, but a little surprising. I was in my car, stopped at a stop light with one car ahead of me. Suddenly the woman in the car ahead jumped out of her car, holding a small bunch of flowers, and ran back toward me. I rolled down the window, wondering what she was doing. She handed me the flowers, smiled and said "Have a nice day." I was too surprised to say anything but "Thank you" as she quickly turned and ran back to her car, got in and drove away as the light changed to green.

I don't know what was going on there but it was nice.

Or maybe she was just driving around handing out flowers because she wanted to do something nice? Anyhow, I thought it was a cool thing to do.
