Perspective

Yesterday , I was at work having a good day. And then it started , the whining and moaning from the grown children that work at the store. The Gossip, telling on one another, drama , and attitudes! So it affected my attitude a bit. Then Someone who will remain nameless for the sake of this blog , snatched some keys out of my hand. I started to react right then , but customers were around , so I remained professional. There was a rush for quite some time so I couldn’t t immediately tell this person about themselves like I wanted to.I spent 45 minutes going off in my head about what I was going to say and how I was going to say it . And then , This woman’s daughter had a seizure in the store.
By the time I got to her, the child calmed down and was just looking at me with these big beautiful glossy eyes with a reflection of pain. Immediately I am ready to cry and I asked her mother if she needed anything . So calmly she replies ,” no thank you , we’re fine.” Im standing there starting and speechless and she is holding a paper towel under her daughters mouth. During the seizure her daughter bit her tongue and was bleeding. Her mother tells me , she has seizures everyday, several times a day. She just didn’t expect it to be at that time of day. And she rubs her daughters back and says sweet words to calm her down. I lost the fight in holding back tears , so I try quickly to catch them.
What was I mad about again? Her mother said that she thinks it was the immunizations that caused the problems. She had a perfectly healthy child until after the immunizations. Her child does not talk. I have to guess her age, ,I think she is 7 or 8 years old . And this has been happening since she was four months old. I am still speechless. Standing so close strength wearing a green shirt and blue jeans. Beautiful brunette hair and blonde highlights . And she is so calm. Now I feel stupid.
Was I REALLY mad about somebody and their funky little attitude snatching keys from me?
