my dad called an air bnb, the man who answered thought my dad was a friend of his who were joking, so when my dad asked the rates and what was included he got told that it was all free and that he’d get wine & three-course dinner as well.
thinking it was a joke and misunderstanding, my parents went anyway.
it wasn’t a joke. they got treated with wine, dinner, sleepover and breakfast from a lovely hospitable fellow, a stranger, and now they’re friends.
it gives me hope. #smallstories
