I have a funny but sweet Taco Bell story.
This happen many years ago.

I had gone to Pet Smart to buy canned catfood for 10 cents a can, a very good price.

After I bought the cat food I stopped at Taco Bell for a small meal.

Now I was on a bus so I had my backpack with me so I had to repack the cans of food into the backpack.

When I was almost finished a older couple came to my table and left a tray of food and a $10 bill.

They drove off and I was sitting there trying to figure out why they would have done this.

I gave the food to some teenagers who were sitting close by and left to catch the bus.

It wasn't until I got on the bus that I realized why the couple gave me the food and money.

They thought I was going to eat the catfood.

I gave the $10 to someone I knew who really needed the money and I have never forgotten the kindness of the couple.

I have repayed this kindness back many times.

2. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out why they did this.
The $10 went to someone who really needed it.

But bless their hearts, and your's too.

6. I hope that the $10 they gave me was money they could spare.
I wished I could have thanked them.

7. I Suspect That They Gave What They Could
and maybe you never get to thank them personally, but you pass it on like you have.

and share the story which is sweet. :hug:

What goes around, comes around.
I just wished I would not have been so stupid at the time.

9. Oh Come On
it sounds like you were just preoccupied. I wouldn't have thought of them thinking I was eating cat food either.
