This morning, I walked through downtown carrying half a cake enclosed in a pretty, hand-painted crystal cake plate and cover. St. Louis people are known to be friendly, but the reaction this morning was totally unexpected.
A lady on the street offered to open my umbrella for me; single women exiting their cars in the garage were exchanging friendly glances; without exception: one look at the cake and its crystal plate, and there was nothing but friendly smiles all around.
Carrying flowers never had this kind of positive reaction. There must be a lesson here...
