Beauty is only skin deep.......

....but ugly goes all the way to the soul.

Nothing annoys me like arrogance.  Nothing moves me like humility.

On my way to work the other day I stopped at my corner mart to grab juice and cold medication.  When my turn came to cash out, a flashy woman in a business suit slipped in front of me with her coffee and a plastic smile.  “I just need to pay for this.”  Really?   Did she think the rest of us were in line for rebates?  She fumbled for her money, tossed a dollar on the counter and said, “Keep the change,” as she swished out the door.  The young cashier actually blushed.  “I’m really sorry.  She does that every morning.” 

I’m not big on confrontation, but I was actually hoping she was still in the parking lot when I left.  Just as well.  Calling her out would have made me late, but maybe I could have sneezed on her.

That same day, I stopped at the grocery store on my lunch break to grab a few things.  A few became too many and I bobbled my purse rounding the aisle cap.  When I managed to stop and see what I’d lost, an ancient gentleman was coaxing my lip gloss from under a display.  Before I could thank him he said, “It’s a good day, missy.  I can still help.”  

Pretty is as pretty does, my mom would say.
