Monday - The Iris Story

As we walked, or ran, around downtown, we frequently saw flowers for sale. Brianna asked many times if we could get some, but I didn't want a bunch of flowers to carry around on our adventure. I told her if we ran into a little flower shop we could buy a couple flowers. Sure enough, as we were walking away from Trader Joes, we stumbled on a little shop in the middle of a block. Brianna's eyes lit up!

We walked in and asked for a couple flowers. My mom loves iris' and B kept mentioning Gammie because she was with us on our last trip, so we got an iris for her and a pink gerbera daisy for B.

She walked around the city proudly carrying her flowers, it was super cute. Well before getting back on the BART and heading home, I thought it would be good to find a bathroom. They are hard to come by, then B said she needed to go. We walked into the H&M that was right there and I asked the women behind the counter if they had a restroom. She apologized and said they don't have public bathrooms, then took a second look and asked if it was for my daughter. I said yes. She asked us to wait a moment then took us down to the employee area and their private bathrooms. We made it to the bathroom without an accident and were being so appreciative! When we were washing hands Brianna took out the the daisy from the package and asked, or told me, that she wanted to give the iris with the ribbon to the lady that let us into bathroom. Silly me tried telling her she didn't need to do that, but she quickly told me again that she really wanted to give it to her.

We walked out and she wasn't there anymore, someone else was waiting to take us back upstairs. I asked if she would give the flower to the women that brought us down. While we waited for the elevator, the other person walked around the corner and ran back into the friendly women that let us come downstairs. All we heard was, "OH MY, you're kidding, that is SO SWEET!"

We were excited to add cheer to her day, she certainly added cheer to ours!
