What do you say when..
Walking home tonight, I encountered two sanitation workers removing the trash cans from in front of my building. I smiled at them and started up the stairs of my stoop.
“Aww, you just made my night hon’!” called one of the men from behind me in exactly the voice you would expect to come booming out of a New York City garbageman.
I turned around. “What’s that?” I asked from the top of the stairs (I was wearing a very large hat).
“You made my night! Thanks for the smile.”
The only thing I could think to say back was “Thanks for taking away my garbage,” but that didn’t seem appropriate so instead I smiled again, turned back around and went inside.
Unfinished encounter aside, it was a nice cap to my day.
