Trader Joe’s Employee Notices White Mom With 2 Black Kids… Does Something Shocking 

All Lauren Casper wanted was to get her two unruly young children out of Trader Joe’s and get them home.

In an open letter written by Casper, she recounted her hectic trip to the store and the anxiety she felt as she walked the aisles with her 18-pound baby girl, Arsema, strapped to her chest and her son Mareto being pushed in the shopping cart by her husband.

She knew her kids had been a loud distraction, so she wasn’t surprised when a store employee approached her — but she was surprised when she found out that it was to give her a bouquet of flowers and thank her for adopting her two children.

“I was tired, hurried, frustrated and ready to just go home,” Casper wrote. “Our family doesn’t exactly blend in with the wallpaper.

“Not only are we two white parents with a brown son and daughter (something that causes enough stares and questions all by itself), but our son has noticeable developmental delays and different behaviors because of autism, and our daughter has missing and webbed digits,” she continued.

“In other words, when we all go out together, we stand out,” Casper added. “Usually I don’t mind, and often I love it … Sometimes though, on the days when we’re far from having it together, I do mind. Those days I just want to blend in with the crowd and hide far away from the curious stares.”

Casper said she was almost in tears when they finally exited the store and began to load their items into their car when she heard someone calling after her.

“‘Ma’am!’ she called out. I slowed, hoping and praying she wasn’t talking to me,” Casper said.

She turned from her car to find a female Trader Joe’s employee approaching her with a smile on her face and bouquet of flowers in her hand.

“I just wanted you to have this bouquet,” the employee said to Casper. “I was adopted as a baby, and it has been a wonderful thing. We need more families like yours.”

Casper was apparently shocked by this turn of events.

“Hadn’t she seen what a disaster we were in the store?” she wrote. “Didn’t she see that we were barely able to keep it together? Didn’t she see what I felt were all my failures as a mom?”

In a nation that is seeing a widening racial divide, Casper thought that her unique, diverse family would only attract more negative attention to her current chaotic situation. But that was not that case with this Trader Joe’s worker.

“She didn’t see what I assumed everyone was seeing,” Casper writes. “She didn’t think what I assumed everyone was thinking. She saw beauty and love and hope and family. She thought we were wonderful and it made her smile.”

The media would like us to think that racial tension is at an all time high and they are seemingly willing to dowhatever they can to inflame and incite racial bias.

We all need to hear stories like this that show that the liberal narrative of a racist nation is largely untrue.
