This morning, at 72 years old, I found myself in the McDonald’s drive-thru, taking my time with my order. Suddenly, the young woman behind me got impatient, honked her horn, and started mouthing words at me. Clearly frustrated. 😡
Instead of letting it ruin my morning, I decided to respond with kindness. When I reached the first window, I paid for both my order and hers. The cashier must’ve told her because as I drove off, I saw her lean out of her window, wave, and mouth, “Thank you”—looking just a little embarrassed. 😅
But here’s where it gets good—when I reached the second window, I showed them both receipts and took her food too! Now, she had to go all the way back to the end of the line and start over. 😂
Moral of the story: Don’t honk at older folks. We’ve been around long enough to know how to teach a lesson with a smile — and a little humor! 💁♀️
