Paying it Forward

To the Editor:
As I was about to put my Visa card in the credit card machine to pay for virus masks I was purchasing for me and my wife, a pretty young woman behind me slipped her card into the machine and said, “I got that.”
When I asked her why, she said, “I just want wanted to be charitable.” I said, “Thank you. I owe you a hug.”
She responded, “After the virus.” I asked what her name was and noticed her cheeks swell up as she smiled and said “Mileen with an m.”
As to how I knew there was a pretty young woman behind the mask, well, from the sound of her voice I could tell that she was ‘pretty young.’
Then, when my next door neighbor called me about a problem, I told him what happened, indicating that she must have done it because I was wearing my red “Trump” hat. He replied, “It was because of your (old) age.”
