“I have two (2), one’s (1) for you.”
Ever wonder why you packed two (2) individually wrapped pieces of delicious homemade banana bread instead of just one (1) for your snack?
The Flowerman 🌻wondered why.
Now he knows the answer.
Picking up lots of waiting passengers at the bus stop closest to the Courtenay Hospital yesterday, most are international students attending North Island College, some have just come from the Hospital. One young woman asks The Flowerman 🌻at the fare box “l just got out of the hospital, do you go downtown getting me close to Connect shelter?” The reply “you’re on the right bus, The Love Bus. It will get you there.”
With the Love Bus in motion The Flowerman🌻had an idea. He saw on the dashboard in front of him two (2) pieces of individually wrapped homemade banana bread. Calling this young woman up to the fare box The Flowerman 🌻asks “would you like a piece of my homemade banana bread, I just made it last night. It didn’t rise as it should, I forgot to add the melted butter before putting it into the oven. I quickly pulled the pan out of the oven to stir in the butter. It still tastes great though. I have two (2), one’s (1) for you.”
She stretches out her hand to accept a piece of individually wrapped banana bread saying “I was crying at the bus stop. Now I’m smiling.”
Most often it’s the little things that have the biggest impact.
Stay tuned!
