Abel and I went for a walk downtown today. I noticed a man striding next to us, in his mid-twenties, smoking. It is pretty common here in PDX. I always have to maneuver to get away. This gentleman, however, saw Abel and immediately dropped down to his knee and put his full cigarette out. (he put it Out!)
In a charming Australian accent, said "Sorry for smoking in front of your little one."
I forgave him with a smile, "It happens a lot downtown." (it does.)
He gave a serious nod and said, " Well that doesn't mean it should."
Then with a tip of his hat, he was gone.
(literally, . . . he tipped his hat.)
