Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Sublime | Jordan Peace

While busing my tray the other day after lunch I glanced down at an empty table to see a pile of salt that was made to look like a bunny. Now I don't know if it was the fact that I was having a miserable day or that this particular salt bunny had big floppy ears and a dopey smile but there was something about seeing that crafted little rabbit that made me smile brightly.

I still don't know what made me happy about seeing it. Maybe because it had been sitting there a while undisturbed, and seeing this stupid pile of salt with carefully placed impressions gave me the feeling that nothing was wrong with my pointless little world. I find it wierd that seeing a simple thing at just the right time can change your outlook if even for a day.

That is so... wonderful. I absolutely love when simple little things just make my day. I am sure the person that made that little salt bunny would love to hear that it made someone change their outlook... even if it was just for one day

Oh I loved it when little kids did things like that! Except when I bused it was always with breadsticks and spaghetti noodles. Kids can get really creative with sauces though. Wow, what a memory. I'm glad it made your day, it made mine too.
