Here's Something for Your Next Ice cream

We came to this McDonalds' and Miss Haana had been requesting for "Eat ice cream?" over and over again. We came and sat down on one of the tables. There was a lady having her breakfast on the table next to ours'. Miss Haana immediately starting telling her who her mom and dad were and that she should try the ice creme because "Ice creame good" and "Ice creame cold"! Then she starting introducing Mumma to her new found friend and called her "Aunty"!

The lady thought her cute. Especially the little girl calling her Aunty. When she got up to leave, she took some cash and gave it to the Miss Haana for her next ice cream. I resisted initially but when I saw her intentions were driven from love, I didn't have it in me to decline.

In north India, in my family, when you go and visit family, it's customary to give some cash/gift to new brides or little children. But this gesture from a complete stranger just blew me away!
