Commanding Attention

Sam and I just got home from the grocery store. Sam was riding in one of those big plastic cars attached to the front of some carts. We were making our way down an aisle that was completely blocked on one side by boxes. Sam saw something interesting and jumped out of his car, which is a big no-no. As I repeatedly asked him to get back in the car, a line of people started building up behind me. Finally I just left Sam there and pushed ahead to the end of the aisle.

I expected to turn around to see Sam scrambling to catch up with me. Instead, I saw him grinning up at a group of retirees who were smiling right back at him. "Oh, HI!" Sam said to each of them, doing a little dance. He answered their questions and showed them the truck on his shirt. They were all so happy, I had to wait for their little meet-and-greet to be over before I could call Sam back over to me.

I honestly don't know how Sam turned out to be so social.

Maybe it's a negative plus a negative makes a positive? Ha!
