Making the World a Better Place

Today, at the doctor’s office, there was an Asian guy waiting outside by one of the beautiful sections of foliage that adorn the main hall of the building. As Troy and I waited for his mother to arrive, the Asian guy started waving and making faces at Troy. Imagine this 70-year old man acting goofy to make a baby smile.

Later that day, I took Troy to the grocery store with me, and as I checked out, people kept coming over and smiling at the baby, talking to him and trying to get him laugh. It’s amazing how different people act around a baby. It doesn’t matter their age or current mood. As soon as they see Troy, their face lights up. They can’t help it. This one woman at the grocery store was scowling and mumbling about the customers. But her entire face completely transformed when she saw Troy’s head peaking over my shoulder.

I’d say it’s just Troy, but I know that I also get goofy around other babies that I see in stores. So I’m convinced it’s just babies in general. Babies make the world a better place.
