I saved up to buy my first Beatles album. I had a rough time finding it. Finally I called Sears and the man at the record department said he had one left. I figured it would be gone by the time my dad got home from work. The salesman said that he would put it back for me. That's how I got my first Beatles record. I still have it. I am 76.

What a brilliant story—thank you for sharing @Gibb ! That must have been such an exciting moment, especially with the record nearly slipping through your fingers. It’s wonderful that the salesman put it aside for you—there’s something so special about those small acts of kindness. And the fact that you still have that Beatles album after all these years? That’s truly priceless.

I babysat all the neighborhood children and sold Avon. I saved up to buy my parents a precious moment’s statue. They loved it. .

That’s incredibly sweet — what a generous thing to save up for as a kid! Babysitting and selling Avon? You were a little entrepreneur with a big heart. Thank you for sharing @Hazeleyes !
