Unexpected

So today after a whooping 3 and a half hours of brain overloading, I waited at the bus stop to go home(DUH what else). As I was waiting, this lady alighted from the bus with a young kid and she approached me saying that this kid boarded the bus w/o his mum and now that his mum was on his way to find him (don't ask me how she knew) so she told me to take care of him while she came. Well.... I'm EXTREMELY TERRIBLE WITH SMALL KIDS but I had to do smth! So I tried to talk to that poor kid, so tiny and teary eyed. I asked him for his name (Jeremiah) and his age (5). And I asked if he rmb what color his mum was wearing (no). Aww mann he looked so frightened, so I put my arm around his shoulder and I tried to help him up the bench, (so afraid he might fall) the kid and I, were such an awkward pairing but that doesn't matter. And then as soon as Jeremiah got on the bench, his mum emerged from a cab. And when I saw the kid run into her embrace, God, it felt so good. The mum was almost in tears, what followed was a hasty explanation and my bus arrived and we boarded the same bus. I then noticed that the taxi driver appeared to be super piss I suppose that the mum forgot to pay him. So he trailed the bus until they alighted then he came out of his cab and scolded the mum. I mean I couldn't hear what he said but you could tell from his actions. God what a jerk. I mean she almost lost her kid would it kill you to let it pass? Hm having mixed feelings about this. On one end of the spectrum I'm glad that I kinda helped the kid and his mum. On the other I'm quite mad with the taxi driver. Who would ever comprehend a mother's heart? God I would never let go of my kid. The only time I ever got lost was at a mall. When I was really really young. The details are faint but the wave of anxiety, I still feel it sometimes. I guess I didn't think I could ever live w/o my folks. Thank God the kid's back with his mum. Hm.
