The weary late Friday afternoon shoppers crowd in around the cash lanes, wishing for the poor tired cashiers to ring the person’s in front of them, groceries.. just a bit faster. Impatience runs high as a little voice rings out..“Look Daddy!”, the toddler’s small arms lift up a box of cereal towards the figure behind the cart. Boredom had taken over while waiting and sent the small guy out exploring the ends of the isles.“Ah, yes.. that’s Captain Crunch!”, his father exclaims as he watches his son try and lift the box up and over the cart rim. “Can we get this?”, the boy asks. Laughing softly the father looks down and asks him. “Are you paying with your money?” The box pauses at the near placement inside the cart… “Noooooo….” The box drops onto the bag of potatoes. “You can use your money Daddy.” Everyone around them chuckled whole heartedly, taking a moment from their “busy days” to enjoy the scene of a young schemer at work.
