I went to pick up my prescription and as I dropped it off at the pharmacy counter I was told it would be 10 minutes or so.\u00a0 \u00a0 And I was skeptical, but started the usual wander around the store.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once I had seen everything – not a big store – I went over to the waiting area for my second and third set of \u201c10 minutes\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I played a couple games on my phone, then took out some paper to fold. There were a couple of kids sitting there with their mom and I could tell they were getting bored and stir crazy. I had just finished up the second crane when I got the text that my prescription was ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stopped in front of the kids and their mom and explained that I had made these cranes while I was waiting and that my prescription was ready. I asked if they would like them and demonstrated how to make the wings flap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These two little boys, who had been getting restless, instantly locked in. They were fascinated and took the cranes from me with lit up eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mom thanked me and prompted the boys to thank me as well. I told them they were welcome and went on my way to stand in line at the counter. I heard them talking about the birds and trying to get the wings to flap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I smiled to myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not a big fan of waiting, but I guess I can make it better for other people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
