A bit unusual, but for me it was my boyfriend’s son telling me he’s grateful for me because I’ve helped his dad become less strict, more open-minded, and generally softer. He said their relationship is the best it’s ever been.

At first, he hated me because he saw me as a homewrecker, even though his mom explained that she was completely okay with her husband having a girlfriend. Hearing him tell me all of that, and that he likes me a lot now, really warmed my heart. It also gave me a sense of peace and relief, because I’d felt guilty toward him even though I hadn’t actually done anything wrong.

Random 6-7 year old kid in the Chicago Union Station:

"Are you a movie star?"

"No sweetie, I work with computers."

"YOU'RE A MOVIE STAR!"

Her mom and I had a good laugh over it. She's got to be like 37 now!
