It doesn’t matter who we are, we all are dealing with a busy schedule. It isn’t just now that we are dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, we have been busy for many years. We try our best to fit in everything that needs to be done during the day, but we often fall short in some way or another. One of the things that often gets left by the wayside is the need for some type of entertainment. If we aren’t taking time to take care of ourselves in this way, we are really missing out on one of the most important things in life.
The woman in the following story was also facing something similar. Her name is Rebecca Boyd, and she was interested in doing something special for her daughter. The family had faced a financial setback when her husband got laid off, so she knew that going to the movie theater was not going to be something easy to do not long in the future. After getting to the theater, however, they had problems because there were rowdy teenagers behind them that were kicking the seats and being noisy. Rebecca asked them to be quiet, but they just ignored it.
The movie that Rebecca took her daughter to was at the Tannehill Premiere Cinema 14 in Bessemer, Alabama. She and her 12-year-old daughter were not able to enjoy the movie because of the teenager sitting behind them.
They didn’t listen to her when she asked them to be quiet. They just were rude and continued to make as much noise as they wanted. Rebecca even spoke to them about how their behavior was affecting her and her daughter’s time at the theater.
As is often the case with a group of girls, their big brother was with them. He wasn’t as rude as they were and he told her mother about what they had done. Little did Rebecca know that what she did would have such an impact.
The girl’s mother, Kyesha Smith Wood was upset about what her children had done. She went on social media to find out who Rebecca was and she was successful.
“I can assure you that these girls are being strongly dealt with and appropriately punished. This rude, disrespectful, and awful behavior is unacceptable, and they owe you an apology,” Kyesha wrote in her public post.
“My husband and I are having them write your apology letter tonight and we would like to pay for your next movie and snacks out of their allowance. Please message me if this is you. I apologize profusely for their disrespect.”
Kyesha didn’t hide the fact that she was speaking about the situation. She posted it on a Facebook page that was open to the community and even the Jefferson County Sheriff’s office forwarded the post. After it went viral, it finally reached Rebecca Boyd.
It seems as if the impact on the girls was on point as well.
“My girls are so mortified. They are humiliated. And, that’s okay because I told them, ‘You know what, you’re not going to do this again,’” Kyesha said, according to ABC.
She can’t say enough good about what Rebecca did and she’s thankful that she was forgiving. “She’s the most gracious, kind and forgiving woman. I am so humbled by that, and I’ve been telling people the real hero of the story is her,” she said.
“She took it upon herself to correct my girls and no one else around them did.”
The story doesn’t end there. All of the children have become good friends and they even eat meals together occasionally. You can watch more in the following video:
