Can't be any worse than "Cougar Town".

I bawled like a baby.
I know you are but what am I?
You must not have been in the chat the night I came out!
We in the Black Community prefer to call it being "on the down low". I only know that from a Law and Order: SVU episode. Really...that's where I heard about it. Only what I heard, mind you.

I was in a Target parking lot.
Walking to my car, I saw an older couple struggling with packages.
I started to move towards them to help.
I saw a group of young males, walking across the parking lot...without a care in the world.
All of a sudden, one boy broke off from the group and jogged to the struggling couple.
I continued to walk to the same couple.
Of course, he made it to them before I did and he helped them load their car.
The couple could not stop thanking the young man and the man pulled out his wallet.
I was close enough to listen to the man offer the young man a tip.
The young man declined and waved the offer off.
I crossed the path of the young man at the cart bay as he was returning the cart and yelling to his friends to hold on and wait for him.
I said something to him. I wanted to acknowledge his random act of kindness.
He said, "Thanks."
I walked past him and then I turned.
I had my husband's car with me and I knew I had Monster Energy Baseball caps and sweatshirts in the trunk.
I shouted, "Hey, do you drink Monster?"
He pulled a can of Monster Energy Green out and waved it.
I shouted, "Hey, I have something for you."
He walked back towards me looking puzzled.
I pulled out a Monster cap and hoodie and handed it to him.
His eyes just got huge...."wow!" he exclaimed.
Of course, I knew that I was handing him something valued by his peers.
He asked, "Why?"
I simply said, "I saw you break away from your buddies to help that couple...and you refused to take a tip..."
He then said, "...my dad taught me that the simple acts of kindest can make the difference in a life..."
He broke away from me, waving his new Monster Energy gear...

To the young man, it was meaningless, it is a part of him and how he was raised by his family.
He did not step out of character, it is what it is....
To me, it was awesome.
To the couple, it may have renewed their faith in strangers....I don't know....that is a guess.
I just have to tell Hubby, after the Packer game, that I gave away a Hoody and a baseball cap.

Well, let's pray for a Packer win to smooth the way.

I just wanted to give a legit reason for searching for the aforementioned sir; that guy seems to be everywhere on these forums, at least as far as search tags are concerned.
