Pay It Forward Experience......

So today my hubby, son and I went out Christmas shopping. During the course of the day we went to Target and my 4 year old was playing with a light saber toy (an inexpensive small one). He was saying some phrases from star wars and making the noises jumping around with it. Anyway this manager spotted him and thought he was really cute being a star wars fan himself. So he said hang on a minute, I'll be right back. So he shows back up a few mins later with a super ultimate fix light saber that lights up and makes noises etc. He said "I want you to have this, Merry Christmas" He also handed us a gift receipt. We were totally stunned. We kept thanking him over and over and he just left. So later when we were back in the toy section we saw the light saber.......it was $35! We were floored by his generosity. I saw a post the other day where someone had a pay it forward experience but I have NEVER had something like this happen to me before! I could not believe it. My son was ecstatic at his early Xmas gift! I will be keeping my eyes peeled for an opportunity to pay it forward to someone else. How awesome is THAT?!?
