A

An Arizona mom says none of her son's kindergarten friends showed up for his birthday

party after she sent 32 invitations to his classmates.

The boy, Teddy, held a birthday party on Sunday at Peter Piper Pizza in Tucson, where he

and his mother, Sil Mazzini, had expecting dozens of little girls and boys—as well as the

children's parents—to join them at the restaurant. Mazzini said a few people told her in advance

that they couldn't make it, but she wasn't prepared for everyone to be no-shows.

Mazzini shared a photo of her son sitting alone in front of several pizzas on her social media

page. That brought dozens and dozens of birthday wishes from around the country, as well as

other gifts and offers.

"I live near Tampa, Florida, and heard about you via my local news," one woman wrote on

social media." I hope you have a wonderful year and I'm sending you a big hug." The biggest

unexpected birthday present for Teddy came from the Phoenix Suns, who invited him to watch

Wednesday night's game at the Talking Slick Resort Arena against the Los Angeles Lakers and

LeBron James. The city's professional soccer club, the Phoenix Rising FC, also invited Teddy to

join 7,000 of his closest friends at a playoff game on Friday.

But some on social media questioned Mazzini's decision to broadcast her son's humiliating

day. "Don't embarrass this kid even more than he already is," one woman wrote on the social

networking website. "This is so wrong."

My wife and I went to this vegan(严格的素食主义的) restaurant to give it a try. As we were

eating our pepper and salt tofu, a young lady named Debra walked in. She wasn't aware that the

place is vegan and was looking for some meat. My wife and I talked up the place and invited her

over to try some of our tofu. Debra tried it, nodded and went out.

After a few minutes, she and her mother both walked back in. We were having the rest of our

meal at that time, so we told her what we had ordered. Debra then asked the waitress to just repeat

our order for them. Next, Debra said, "And we want to pay for their meal" , pointing to my wife

and me. We tried to say no, but Debra wouldn’t listen.

That was not the end of it. Hugs were in order. Debra came over to our table and my wife got

up to hug her. Debra hugged my wife and put $ 100 into her hand. My wife firmly said NO, but

Debra insisted. Debra kept talking about our kindness, and we did the same about hers and her

mother's. With tears in the eyes, the workers were blown away by this whole exchange between

four strangers. I left the waiters and waitresses a tip that would cover all of our meals and we were

on our way.

I've been witnessing so much kindness, especially over the last few years, as I began to pay

more attention. We now have a new favorite restaurant and every time we go there my plan is to

pay for someone else's meal.

No one knows who invented the button. It has existed as early as 2000 BC. When it first

started, it was just something pretty yet replaceable sewn onto your clothes. About 3,000 years

later, someone finally invented the buttonhole, and buttons were suddenly useful and applied to

clothes universally.

Before buttons, clothes were bigger — they had no fixed shapes. People felt as if they

wrapped themselves in things. Because of the buttonhole, the fashion moved closer to the body as

we discovered uses for the button. At one time, it’s the very way to make clothes fit well for the
