Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.
We were at my sister’s kid-halloween party, and he and I were dressed up. A little.
This little fellow, 5 or 6, was in knight’s armor with a dragon crest on the chest plate. You know, little kid plastic stuff. He was rocking it.
We are getting ready to head home, I have my broom in hand, empty wine glass in the other and are making our way from the fire-pit to the back door. This young knight stops me and looks up. I’m already 5 foot, ten and am in heels, so he’s looking way up. And he says to me “Are you the witch?”
Not a, but the.
I really don’t know why that caught me as so profound, that this young sir chose that article.
So I hinged at the waist and looked him in the eye. “Are you the knight?” I asked? His eyes got a little bigger, but he answered yes.
I shuffled my belongings and offered him my hand, “Good to meet you.” He shook my hand. I asked is the woman next to him was his mother. To which he also replied yes. I bid him to take care of his mom. And we parted ways.
Moms always need their little knights to look after them. I know I do 💜
