And now, I, Andrew, the marvelous Maroon Mauruder himself, have a question:
Do you like Waffles? I said, Do...You...Like...Waffles?! (Oh yeah, you can't answer. This isn't a video.)
Anyway, here's a sweet video for you as sweet as a syrup race.
In Central Alabama, a mom and her young son took a trip to the local Waffle House. At the parking lot, the child, 5-year-old Josiah Duncan, notices a man sitting on the curb with a bag, so he asks his mom, Ava Faulk, about him and his disheveled appearance. She answers his question "Because he's homeless"; to which Josiah replies, "Well, what does that mean?". "That means he doesn't have a house," Ms. Faulk answers.
After this cute Q&A session between mom and son, Josiah gives one of the most heartwarming and beautiful things I've ever seen a child do in real life.
"Nobody really waited on him," his mom explained of the homeless man. "And Josiah jumped up and asked him if he needed a menu because he couldn't order without one." Josiah gives the man a nice experience he'll never forget, by letting him join the two for a meal, with Ms. Faulk paying for his meal. The homeless man suggests something cheap, but Faulk rebuffs and gives him anything he wanted free-of-charge. When the meal came, Josiah did something equally beautiful: to say a blessing. The other WH patrons listened in as Josiah loudly sang his prayers.
"That man just cried, and everybody else at Waffle House was crying," his mom said. Faulk says that day her son taught her the importance of seizing the chance to do something good. "You never know who is an angel on Earth," she said, "and when the opportunity comes at you, you never should walk away from it."
Now here's the video report from WFSA 12 in Central Alabama for the report:

Big thanks to WSFA 12 for the wonderful story, and special thanks to 6abc in Philadelphia for their article on their website. It's stories like these that make me keep some faith in humanity.
Ahh, such a wonderful example of how humanity should be. What a lovely child.
