Jumping down the steps of my friend’s house in the Mission morning, I nearly bumped into a man steadily pushing a shopping cart. I heard a clack, clack, clack, and wondered if this was the sound of his cart creaking from its heavy load, or if it was the sound of some industrial song. As he said, “Good Morning!” to me, I heard the first few notes of a well-known Salt and Peppa Song, “Push it!” and broke out into a huge grin.
His face lit up as well, and he asked me, “Oh, do you like this song?”
“Yeah, I do!”
“Me too!” he said, and then I danced all the way home, with his smile still in my heart.
