We were at the Dollar Tree today. Some employee had the bright idea of filling an endcap with stemmed glassware. My daughter had chosen some glowstick necklaces to buy. While she continued to walk around and look at things she put the sticks in her shopping basket that she was carrying. They stuck out a good distance. I'm sure you can guess where this is going. - Yup the sticks caught a couple of the glasses off the bottom shelf and sent them tumbling. I came to help pick up and another customer commented that it wasn't a good place to have those glasses. The manager and cashier both came over to help pick up pieces of glass. Thankfully only one glass had been broken. My daughter wanted to help but was told not to touch the broken pieces for fear she'd get cut. While she stood by and watched she turned, set down her basket, pulled out her purse and said "I guess you better watch our for me when I've got some long stick like that (pointing to the glow stick package), I'm dangerous. How much do I need to pay?" The manager stopped and practically stared at her. Then said "What?" She repeated her question and he caught it that time. He answered her that she didn't need to pay for the glass, it shouldn't have been put there. It was ok. To which my daughter replied "Thankyou. I'm sorry I bumped them."
She is 5 years old.
Makes her Moma proud.
