Day 93

My friend told me about something he witnessed on a subway in New York. A little girl and her mom entered a relatively busy subway. Most chivalrous men stand up and offer their seat to children, women, and the elderly. A man stood up quickly and offered his seat to the little girl. The little girl gladly accepted the seat, while the mom stood right in front of her. The man sitting next to the little girl was wearing a beanie, listening to music, with his headphones on. The little girl tapped the man and said "I'm bored, I want to play". The man took off his headphones and put a game on his iPhone so she could play it. She played the game for 15 minutes. 

My friend took a picture after watching the whole scenario play out. Thank you for sharing this story with me. 

I thought this story was precious. Appearance wise, this man did not fit the typical "child friendly" role, but that goes to show never to judge a book by its cover. He was sweet, patient, and selfless with the little girl. And to all those chivalrous men out there- never change.
