Small acts of kindness can sometimes leave you with big questions.

This man and his wife were shopping in a grocery store.

An elderly woman asked for help lifting heavy water packs into her cart.

They were happy to lend a hand, but quickly realized she might have trouble carrying them once she left the store.

Lady just wanted some water

This just happened last night.

I was at a Stop and Shop in the water section where all the big heavy 24 packs are.

An older lady called over to my wife and me.

She looked like she was having trouble getting the waters into her cart.

This man and his wife were wondering if the older lady needed some help.

Her feeble, flabby arms simply could not get the heavy pack up and over the edge.

She was a little short and stocky.

Anyway, she asked if we could help.

Both my wife and I were confused for like half a second, turning around to see if there was an employee behind us.

They decided to help her.

There was none.

“Sure, okay.” 👍

We helped her get two 24-packs of water into her cart.

She thanked us and walked away.

Great work, us! Being good people.

Then, they thought about how she would lift the packs of water out of her cart.

Then, a thought occurred.

If she couldn’t lift it into her cart, how on earth was she planning on getting it out?

We continued to shop as we debated her options.

Maybe she’d buy some kind of lever.

Maybe she’d ask an actual employee to follow her outside and load it up.

Maybe she’d knock the cart over sideways and drag it out!

They saw how she asked another stranger to help her put the water into her car.

Coincidentally, we finished shopping.

And, on our way to the car with an armful of groceries, we spotted this little old lady.

She was trying to flag down another random stranger to help her put the water into her car.

We put our groceries in the car, walked over, and offered to help.

They also thought about following her to help her bring the water into her house.

The entire way home we wondered how she planned to get the water into her house.

We didn’t follow her home, but we actually’ considered it.

Like, just rolling up in her driveway and asking:

“Hey, need some help?”
