Jackie Johnson-Smith was treated to an unanticipated act of kindness while dining with her family at a pizza restaurant in Iowa.
She shared a picture of the restaurant bill along with the statement, “I have breastfed three children,” on Facebook. I have cared for them in countless situations, both public and private, at happy and unhappy times. Even though I’ve had a lot of looks and stares, tonight dispels all of that bad vibe. It was my first time eating at Fongs tonight. I spent some time in the booth nursing my grumpy baby before getting up early to avoid disturbing the other diners.
“The waitress gave this receipt to my hubby. I couldn’t talk because I was so upset. I don’t deserve a pat on the back for feeding my child, but it felt amazing. The final words of the letter were, “It’s amazing how women can empower and feel for one another.
The message was written by waitress Bodi Kinney, who told KCCI 8 News in Des Moines, “We need to come together and support each other when it comes to nursing our children.”
While I Was on a Business Trip, My Neighbor Took Down My Halloween Decorations and Used Them to Decorate Her Own House
This story captures the ultimate Halloween showdown! The detail of every element—from the neighbor’s sneaky “borrowing” to the deliciously petty revenge and the satisfying justice of the final reveal—is so spot-on. The imagery is incredible, too; I could picture every scene, from the crimson accusation on her fence to the judges chuckling over the irony of Sandra’s “win.”
It’s a great reminder that, sometimes, a little clever (and harmless!) retaliation can make all the difference. Your main character’s love for Halloween comes through so strongly here—it’s almost as if Halloween itself rewarded her dedication in the end! 🎃
This would make an excellent Halloween-inspired short film or comic—it has everything: suspense, humor, a bit of mystery, and a satisfying conclusion.
