My very first delivery hug!
I met the most adorable 3-year-old today on the Enterprise Farm route. I called a few minutes ahead to make sure the customer would be home. Apparently the little girl REALLY wanted to meet “The Vegetable Man,” so her mom woke her up from her nap. When I arrived, the little girl was bleary-eyed but full of energy, bouncing around the apartment wearing just her Pull-Ups. She introduced herself as “Cinderella,” and then demonstrated some yoga poses and chattered continuously, only half of which I could understand, while her mother wrote out a check.
As I was leaving the mom told me that “Cinderella” had wanted to give The Vegetable Man a hug, and then asked the little princess if that was still the case. She shyly nodded, leaned out of her mother’s arms and gave me the daintiest little hug. Made my day! Mother and daughter watched from their 2nd-story window as I hopped on the trike. I waved to them one last time before riding off into the rain.
I’ve been terrible about taking photos on the Enterprise route… too focused on getting to the next stop. So just for kicks here’s a shot I took last week of the Somerville Theater. The life-like statues, created in the 80s, are based on people who actually lived around Davis Square.
MetroPed has been in the local papers quite a bit lately. If you haven’t already, check us out in the Boston Herald, Boston Phoenix and Somerville News.
