Running to the store?

While in the parking lot, look for someone who is emptying their shopping cart, and offer to take it back for them.
I pulled into my spot, discretely positioning myself two spots from my prey.  An older, yet capable woman certainly willing to accept a helping hand I concluded.  The plan was simple...time it right, have patience while unloading Kaylee.  Make it seem natural.  Act like you don't see her at first, I cautioned myself.  I glanced over as she began unloading her groceries from the cart...at that moment my heart grew two sizes.  Taking the cart was not enough, no no, I would help her unload it as well I determined.  I walked over with my sweet lovely daughter beside me, "Can I help you unload your cart?"  I sweetly asked.  "No." she simply said.  I was speechless.  I walked away shamed. 

I spotted an abandoned cart on my way in.  I grabbed a hold of it, and decided it would have to do.
