So, here in South Africa and I know in the States, this past Sunday was Mother's Day. Finally, this year my Mom could actually tell us what she wanted for this special day, so off my sister and myself went to the local mall in pursuit of some lovely warm, winter pajama attire.
When we eventually made it to Woolworths, and found what we were looking for, it was pretty much closing time. Much to our excitement and pleasure, Woolworths were offering a free wrapping service for their customers who had purchased goods for Mother's Day. So, off we went to stand in line to get our pressies wrapped.
Eventually, we were helped by the lovely Wonderful (yes, his name was Wonderful), who proceeded to wrap the presents in a most professional manner, much to my relief, as I cannot wrap presents for you know what. I'm terrible!!! Anyway, just as he started wrapping the last of our presents, the other ladies at the counter decided to pack up and asked if he would assist the remaining three customers who were waiting patiently after us. When he was almost done with our present, he asked one of the ladies in the line if she knew how to wrap presents. To which she quizzically responded that she did, to which he proceeded to ask her if she wouldn't mind helping with one of the other customers.
When he had finished helping us, he then put his jacket on, said he needed to catch his taxi and left the woman, the customer, to help wrap the remaining presents!!!!!
Only in Africa................................
