A mother's love
My almost 4 year old daughter is now re-potty trained. On on outing this weekend she insisted on going to the bathroom by herself and locking the stall door in a public restroom. Against my better judgement I relented. Naturally when she tried to unlock the door she was unable to do so and proceeded to panic. I reassured her through the door, tried to coax her into continuing her attempts at unlocking it and after several tries, gave up and crawled on the floor (ugh!) into the stall to free her. Several women in line commented that my action was a true demonstration of love. And I laughed and flippantly said, "A mother's love knows no bounds." And while I inherently believe that same love should extend to all other living things, I can't say for certain that I would be so generous with a stranger. Would you crawl under a public bathroom stall to free someone you didn't know?
