I have to share what happened yesterday (I can't believe I just remembered to share it with you)...
My doorbell rang, and two of my dogs started barking, as usual. They accompanied me to the door to see who was there. As I opened the door, the dogs tried to come out, so I had to gruffly tell them to stay back. Then I turned and smiled, saying hi to the young girl (probably middle school age).
Here's how the conversation went:
Girl: "Hi, I'm raising money for college,"
Girl pauses and glances out of the corner of her eye at my dogs...
Girl continues: "...and I'm walking dogs..."
Girl looks again at my dogs...
Girl concludes: "...but your dogs look big and scary..."
Girl backs away from the door and turns quickly toward the sidewalk, not even glancing behind her as she almost runs away.
