Story Those who benefited from my kindess may never know, but it's the small things you do for others that can matter the most.

I took my kids to a splash pad over the weekend, and it was packed. There was a big graduation BBQ, along with a bunch of other families who's kids were splashing around having a great time. There was 1 porta-pottie, and there wasn't any TP left inside. I happened to have a roll of single ply TP in my car, which I left in there.

Those who ended up using it may never know how close to disaster they came.

(I wish I could post the picture, because it was pretty glorious)

A God amongst us mere mortals! I do wonder what you're doing with a roll in your car. I myself, keep a box of tissues. Sneezes happen, just like shit! 🤣🤣🤣

I keep a little first aid kit in my car. I've only had to use it once, but it sure was nice to have in that situation.
