The Best Thing I've Heard...

...And Evidence That I'm Not Entirely Jaded.

Starbucks makes these little teacups decorated with flowers and wrapped with a ribbon and a matching "To:/From:" tag, implying it would be "the perfect gift". One lady came to my register with one, and as I wrapped it in tissue paper, she grinned at me.

"It's for my daughter. She just got a promotion, and I thought it would be so nice to have on her desk!"

I smiled at her, and she continued. "Sorry, I'm just so proud I had to tell someone."

"Oh, it's fine!" I said, "I like other people's stories." And I do, too.

"I thought you might... you have a very friendly face."

And that was the best thing I've ever heard.
