Putting A Little Joy In The Mix

It’s near Christmas, and I have done some baking and made treat bags for my coworkers. I get to work and hand one to one of my coworkers.

Coworker: “What’s this?”

Me: “It’s cookies and Chex mix and stuff.”

My coworker starts crying.

Coworker: “I’m sorry, I’ve just had a really bad day. Thank you.”

I’m not good with people, so I’m not quite sure how to deal with this.

Coworker: “I can’t believe I’m crying over Chex mix.”

Me: “Well, I’m glad I was able to make you smile.”
