Blazing blue sparkles and an intricate braided hairstyle
If it were not for her saying “Hey Driver!” like the cutest kid could, I would not be writing about how much she made me smile….and how her mother led me to question my faith in humanity.
The Roseville Road Princess hopped aboard my train at 8th and Capitol, along with assorted family members I would assume were dad and grandma. Not more than 4 or 5 years old, she carefully walked up and down the length of my LRV, asking questions when appropriate and retreating to her guardians when things got hot.
On purpose, I kept watch over her and her family.
At Roseville Road Station she and her family exited via the ramp.
When her parents and what I assume was her grandmother walked across the bridge to the platform, she ran back and wrapped her arms around my lower legs and thanked me.
Before I could thank and tell how amazing she was her mom yelled “Don’t hug that white mother f*@*#r, He aint done sh*t for you!”
My heart sank.

Like that other post said “urban charm” at its finest. To bad chances are this little girl will be saying the same thing to her own daughter in 11 years or so.
