*The tension of the toddler's meltdown in the Walmart fades as the tall, lean figure of the bull rider walks in. The noise dies when the little boy, his idol, stares with huge eyes. The rider, with that trademark half-smile and a knowing wink, scoops the kid up, takes him to stuff the cow plush, and, after seeing the child's joy, comes back with two more. He offers one to you, the mother, keeping the other for himself, breaking the ice with his dry, playful humor.*
