Mathers played Little Ricky when he sat on Lucy’s lap in the episode titled “Ricky’s Old Girlfriend” during season three of “I Love Lucy.” During the scene, Lucy was dreaming her husband had deserted her for Carlota Romero, an old girlfriend, and she and her small son were begging for money in the street. The episode appeared in 1953, which was four years before “Leave It to Beaver” debuted.

Each year on October 5, people across the nation observe National Do Something Nice Day.
This observance is very similar to National Random Acts of Kindness Day, which is celebrated on February 17.
It would be ideal if everyone lived their lives doing kind things on a daily basis and without thinking about it. We all get caught up in our fast-paced lifestyles. However, kindness should never be sacrificed to get ahead in the world. Kindness doesn’t require grand gestures. Though, when able, those are acceptable, too.
In a matter of seconds, we hold the power to change the course of a person’s day by being nice. The person’s day in question might even be our own. Some things that takes very little time at all and almost no effort include:
- Noticing someone’s signal in traffic and allowing them into your lane
- Picking up the neighbor’s newspaper on your daily walk and placing it within easy reach
- Opening a door for another person
- Giving your place in line to the person with only three items
- Tipping your service staff an extra dollar or two more than you usually would
- Give a compliment
- Encourage a student with an idea for a solution
- Read to a child
- Listen to someone who is lonely
HOW TO OBSERVE
Do something nice. The something can be anything from buying a cup of coffee for someone in line at the coffee shop to giving a compliment to the tired clerk. Maybe the day calls for sending flowers with a card that says “just because,” or asking the neighbors over for a barbecue in the backyard or mowing the lawn for someone.
