Dad's day out
Walking back to my apartment after getting my coffee, I watched as this dad got his 7 year old into a taxi, but then had to deal with a toddler in the stroller. The moment when 2 hands doesn't seem adequate. I walk over and ask if he needs help. He hesitates, not wanting to admit that 'dad's day out' was a little more work than he had anticipated. I reach down, and he tries to tell me its complicated, but by then I have the stroller folded and am handing it to him. He looks at me, slightly frazzled, and says "Uh, Thank You!" I say 'no problem' as I walk away. Oh dad's in NY, it's ok to ask for help.
