BOOM! There it is!

You never know when you just might make someones day. I was at Trader Joe's the other day and we were in line to check out when I remembered I needed one more thing. I looked at Keri and said, "I'll be right back." Somehow, I was able to go right to the olives and go back before she was even finished checking out.

I placed the forgotten olives on the check out stand and Keri said, "BINGO! That was fast." I said, "Yup! Bingo bongo bango and we're on our way." We shared small talk with the checker and when he was finishing up he thanked me for saying, Bingo, Bongo, Bango, because his father-in-law died recently, but before he did he went through a bad bout of dementia and one of the last things he would repeatedly say was Bingo Bongo Bango. He had fond memories of his father-in-law and he always smiles whenever he hears someone say that phrase.

I don't know about you, but when he shared this story with me, I got cold chills. I'm cheesy that way, but it goes back to what I've said before, when you make someone's day it kinda makes your day too.

I had no idea that those three little words would make his day, but Bingo Bongo, Bango there it was a smile on his face.
