In a grocery line that felt endless, a man bulldozed into my pregnant wife, Karol, and our cart. Ready to lose it, I was stopped by Karol’s calm plan.

A Life-Changing Encounter

I met Karol at 26, and she balanced my fiery protectiveness, especially when we found out she was pregnant. My mother’s saying, “What happens, happens,” felt true, but I still aimed to protect my family.

The Grocery Store Incident

Seven months into Karol’s pregnancy, we waited in a long line. Suddenly, a large man shoved past, bumping our cart and Karol, shouting, “Step off, I’m in a rush!” Anger surged, but Karol held me back, whispering, “Don’t waste yourself on him; just watch.”

Karma in Action
We watched Mr. Rude Guy smugly pay and head to the exit, only for an alarm to go off. Guards quickly took him away. Karol started laughing and explained, “I slipped a security-tagged item into his pocket.” My jaw dropped, and I laughed with her, realizing I had married the best woman in the world, who knew how to balance the scales of justice.
