Pick-me-up of the oddest kind

When I couldn't sleep last night, I decided to go down and raid the Kitchen Table next to my building for some low cal, fun snacks. Leaving the lobby I saw this kid who couldn't have been older than 10, 11 running around by himself which I thought was odd.

Coming back I was sauntering over to the elevator and saw him gesturing wildly to me saying "come on, come on!" across the lobby. Turns out he was holding the elevator for me to get on - again odd, yet sweet. We rode up together and commented on the cute puppy in the building, although he explained "I'm Russian" when he couldn't catch on to some words I was using. When we got to my floor, he waved and smiled a huge smile and told me to have a good night... that sweet gesture made me smile, put away the granola bars I had bought as a midnight snack and head to bed with a lighter weight on my shoulders.
