Sorry, no reward for that.

Stretched out at the dentist office, I listened as my dentist and her assistant spoke of her up-coming retirement. 

“In all my years working I’ve never called out sick.”

Her perfect attendance reminded my dentist of the perfect attendance awards she received as a child. 

In which the assistant replied..

“There were no attendance awards when I was coming up, perfect attendance was expected.” 

Which reminded the patient of generosity..

“Imagine a world where generosity never calls out sick, and is so commonplace it doesn’t expect a reward.”
