Perfect Imperfection
“Yes!” I triumphantly pulled an over sized book out of the free bin – full page pictures of animals and descriptions about them! I love finding free books at McKay’s. So often, they make terrific gifts! I had even found a perfectly good game of Candy Land. All the pieces were there, the box was just torn up a bit. Not a problem for me.
In my excitement, I had scattered my free findings across the sidewalk. A man came walking quickly around the corner and had to stop quickly to avoid tripping over my pile.
“I’m so sorry! Let me move them!” I quickly said.
“No. Leave them. You’re perfect.”
I stared at this complete stranger, a man my father’s age. He smiled at me.
