As I was weaving my way through Sears to get out of the mall, I overheard a little boy exclaim to his parents, “Look, an escalator!”
His enthusiasm was befitting of a basket of kittens or, say, a Matt Damon sighting in Harvard Square. But no, it was an escalator—going up—and to him, it was a sight to behold.
I don’t know the last time I got that excited over something so ordinary—but he made it seem like such fun. I need to give that a try.
