Plush With Love

(At my workplace we have a lot of teddies given us to sell. We have placed them in a basket ready to be sold. A little girl, about 5 to 7, comes in along with her mother. The mother goes off to browse while the daughter walks over to the basket and picks each one up, one by one, hugging them and giving them a kiss.)

Me: “Excuse me, madam, what’s your daughter doing?”

(The mum called her daughter over towards us, she came over and the mum asked the girl to explain what she was doing.)

Mum: “Please tell the lady why you were hugging and kissing the cuddly toys?”

Little Girl: “I wanted to show them all the love till they went to another home, so they weren’t alone and feel unloved.”

(I almost cried at how cute and caring she was. The little girl bought two of the toys. As they were leaving her mum told me that she did it in every shop that had cuddly toys.)
