Sweet Fox Magic
/I had the most incredible experience yesterday. I was stopped at a light and listening to Kate Rusby and just feeling really happy and in a good mood. I was looking down at my phone, and I heard a truck next to me at the stoplight rev his engine.
I thought to myself “these darn trucks, and how they always have to be loud!” and looked up.
Sticking his head out of the passenger side window was a little boy, who waved his very very worn and well-loved stuffed fox at me*. I grinned widely and gave him a thumbs up, and he smiled and gave me a thumbs up in return. At the next light, I turned onto the highway so my car was further up than his. I wagged Kitsune’s tail on her back window several times for him to see.
Driving down the highway I started laughing and crying at the same time. It was just such a sweet, beautiful and absurd moment.
*to those who may have forgotten, my car is orange and I have big furry magnetic fox ears on the roof and a plastic fox tail attached to the rear wiper blades.
