How to brighten someone's day
How I did it: I work at a camp over the summer, and they bring in speakers who talk to the kids or put on skits. Back when I actually attended this camp there was a ventriloquist who sang songs with her puppets, and I still remembered the rock song she sang years ago. I was telling my mom how the only way I'd learned my types of rocks was from her song, and I guess she passed on the message to the ventriloquist. My mom kept telling me the story over and over again about how much that had meant to the woman and how she was glad I'd told her to pass on the message because it had just made her day. I felt very good. :)
