The context of the following conversation is Jordan looked sad eating lunch alone, so Alex sat beside Jordan.:
Alex says It'9s the little things that count these days..
The friend responds More people need to be kind and do those little things because the world needs it..
Alex responds I know, I'm just trying to be one of those people..
The friend responds I'm following suit with you, I am going to do little things like that in the future as well..
Alex responds Maybe we are onto something here..
The friend responds Hopefully the rest of the school catches on and will have a whole community of people doing little kind gestures..
