Rational, Considerate Humans Do Exist (We’re Shocked, Too)

I am leaving a store when I pass a mother with her children. One of them points to an open disabled parking spot.

Child: “Mom, that spot’s open! We could have parked there!”

Mom: “No, that’s for people who have trouble walking. Grandpa says that if you park there when you don’t need it, my aunt will haunt you.”

I can’t help laughing, and the mom notices.

Mom: *Smiling* “My late aunt used a wheelchair. Dad made sure we kids knew not to park there unless we have a pass for it!”
