For this week’s challenge, I determined the younger the victim, the better. And it actually worked out great!
6 year old and I were mad-dashing through Wal-Mart while dh and our other two daughters were similarly rushing their way through a to-buy list…we were hurrying through the mundane so we could get on with the fun…in this case: bowling.
At the 20 items or less check-out, we dumped our contents and out of the corner of my eye I saw/heard a 2 or 3 yo boy in the cart behind us. He wanted something to eat. Bingo! I grabbed a bag of plain (what else?) M&M’s and after we paid, my 6 yo had the fun of giving them to this little guy’s mother. Was that shock and awe in her eyes? At any rate, she was speechless!
And we were blessed!

great idea going for the younger crowd! I like that you are including the kids in the WK idea. It is a great teaching tool.
You picked a great target– children give the best reactions because they don’t have their guard up.
