Best laugh in years

Took the pup to local cricket oval, was talking to a woman with another nice Jack Russell. Next thing three boys - around 11 or 12 yo came slowly motoring up the road in single lane all in mobility scooters!

The kids stopped to play with the dogs - they were really nice kids and I didn't want to insult them but I asked if any of them were actually disabled. They laughed and said no - borrowed scooters and they were spending Sunday arvo pretending to be old farts. Then they obliginly posed for a pix. Made my day.

Great story about a really great afternoon!

EVERYBODY can get something positive out of this story!

EVERYBODY can learn and benefit, AND be inspired, and even encouraged, just by hearing or reading it. I bet many DUers have already had those reactions!
