Uplifting and Adorable in Hard Times

[Mira]

I had to get my car inspected today. I was in a dingy waiting room. Stenciled on the wall were two sentences:
"DO NOT TRY TO PET THE DOG, HE WILL BITE" and the other "DO NOT REACH INTO THE OPENING OF THE GLASS AT THE PAYMENT WINDOW."
Intimidated, expecting Cujo behind the glass I approached to pay, keeping my distance, asking: "Is the dog nearby?"
And then I saw this:

A grandmother was running the little business, and she was raising her 3 year old grandchild between customer interruptions.
This made my day so much happier.
