Just made a coffee run, and experienced a couple noteworthy things:

1.) The Beatles' "I Feel Fine" was on in the coffee shop, and I found myself humming along. I laughed at myself & stopped so I could order. However, while doctoring my coffee, I started again without realizing until I noticed the girl next to me softly singing along. We both caught ourselves at the same time and shared a chuckle. Then, on my way out, I saw that most people in line & at tables were doing the same...it's wonderful how those 1.5 minute long Beatles songs can unify a coffee shop full of strangers. Feelin' fine, indeed.

2.) A little girl was "explaining" rap music to her mother. Her key points were that:
"-He (name of some rapper I didn't catch) went to college to study RAP. So, he wasn't doing rap on the streets and causing trouble, but he was using college things like spelling words to make his rap. So it's good music, kind of like homework.
-When you write rap music, you have to write all your feelings and it kind of sometimes has to rhyme, because then other people can remember it, but it doesn't have to rhyme all the way because it's your feelings."

Every now & then, I find myself slightly disenchanted with children. Then something like this happens and I smile.
