Waiting to board a train, an old lady just wants to eat her cookies in peace, but hijinks ensue when a teenager on the bench next to her seems intent on sharing them, too. This delightful animation was directed by Andrew Cadelago, with music by Roberto Murguia.

    A reminder for myself to stop and recognise my own assumptions from time to time, to challenge them. Thank you to my friend Khang who shared this animation to me.

    Wonderful example of how often things are not at all as they may seem. We are all subject to errors in thinking all the time. Pretty certain that most of us observing this were thinking the same as the old woman, that the teenager was acting entitled and taking what he wanted, without concerns. There is often much more to the story than what meets the eye. Taking a step back, asking questions, considering all options, is always appropriate. Made me laugh and wonder how many times I have mis-judged someone or a situation. Great reminder of the need to be fully mindful every minute.

    I was inspired by the sense of remorse in the old woman and the little smile she gave the young man at the end. Not easy to confront our own faults!

    I KNOW that anger. It blinds us. It was wonderful to see "MY" anger depicted in that woman. Just wonderful. And how uplifting that the young man patiently related to her, even though he knew the cookies were his. Sure hope he runs for the US senate!

    This is the exact same plot as a 1989 Academy award winning short film "The Lunch Date." I'm surprised it was not mentioned in the credits.

    Before you get mad and overreact, take a “beat” and think the situation through! Once you get angry you don’t think clearly or rationally and can make huge mistakes.

    THE BOY IS VERY NICE, THE COOKIE IS HE'S BUT HE SHARED WITH THE ELDER.

    I am a bit disappointed with myself for judging this young man without knowing the entire story. Then, I felt like the lady did - anxious and a little sad with myself, but I was hoping she'd get off the train and make things right by explaining to him how she confused his treat as hers...even if it meant waiting an hour or two for the next train.
