Some weeks ago I was in the lineup at the cash at Walmart. A young man stood behind me holding a lot of clothes. I couldn't resist asking if it was someone's birthday. He said no, in fact he was trying to buy some clothes for his wife. She was expecting their second child very soon and had nothing to wear, nothing fit and she was in no condition to shop for herself at the moment. He said in frustration that it was so difficult doing this kind of shopping and he was hoping some of the clothes would fit. He had no idea what she would like. I told him that kids grow up so fast and he should enjoy these moments. He agreed, already seeing how much the first child had grown in so little time. I wished him all the best before I had to move on.
