Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing On Rainbows

So today I was using my "Free Hugs" purse that I've had for a while and used many times, yet never had anyone approach me about it. I had been out and about running errands for a while, and by this point wasn't really consciously aware of my purse anymore. I was in a JCPenney Home Store looking at furniture, and after spending the day in and out of furniture stores I was getting used to having employees follow me around, waiting to pounce and try to get me to buy something. Seriously, they're almost like car salesmen. I thought that it was a little bit odd that they would be like that at Penneys, though. So I noticed this lady following me around the store but keeping her distance, so I was just trying to keep moving and avoiding eye contact so that I wouldn't have to tell her that I was just looking and then try to escape. Then I turned a corner and she was right there. She smiled and said "Has anyone ever approached you for a hug before?" which struck me as a very bizarre question, until I remembered my purse. I said that she was the first one and gave her a hug. She told me that she had been following me around the store trying to think of the best way to approach me about it. She said that she loves hugs so she couldn't resist! She was so nice about it and adorable and the whole thing kind of made my day.
