Dreft

I bought a bottle of baby detergent.

It was the last item on my list of groceries.  Perhaps I saved it for last for a reason.  Cart full of milk, orange juice, eggs, bananas, etc, and I rolled down the laundry aisle.  There at the end, on the top shelf (why would they put it on the top shelf?!) was the white bottle with a pink top (also, why pink?  There are boy babies too...) that meant change.

I don't know why it changed.  But reaching for that bottle (on my tippiest of tip-toes) and putting in my buggy made my heart soar for a moment.  I smiled unconsciously and started humming as I made my way to the registers.

"Well aren't you all smiles today?" said the little cashier standing behind the counter.

"Yes.  Yes I am."

Amazing what a little container of baby laundry soap can do.
