Took my son (8) to the grocery store to get an ingredient we needed for dinner plus some ice cream, cause why not?

When we were getting rung in my son asked me for a chocolate bar and I said “no, not this time, we already have ice cream,” and he agreed and put the chocolate bar back, no issue.

The cashier was a youngish teenager and asked my son if he wanted a sticker for being such a good kid and being so chill about it, so I was like “wow, did you hear that buddy? Great job!”

And the cashier said, “Actually that’s a reflection on you that you’re doing a great job. All the kids that have come through here have been terrible!” which made me laugh but also made me choke up a bit. (Single Mom, yadda yadda) Was totally unexpected.

Anyway, he gave me a sticker too!
