Can we talk about that little boy that came in the store the other day?

The air quotes stuffed animal boy?

Yeah, he came to the register.

And did he buy a book that day?

Or was it a bouncy ball?

He bought something that did not cost very much.

Right.

Like $3 maybe.

Because he had his own money, which is always super adorable to me.

When children come up to the register ready to make their own personal purchases.

And counted out very carefully. Oh yeah, very carefully. And he had what, $20? Something like that. Right around there.

It was like, it was $20 or $21. And I said, I gave him the total and he, his eyes lit up because he was going to have extra money.

And this look of, you know, what am I going to do?

And so we asked him, well, what are you going to spend the rest of your money on?

And he had this like, he said, well, like a stuffed animal, but not a stuffed animal.

And I was thinking, oh, not like a cutesy want, like I was thinking, oh, does he want me to make sure.

Like he doesn't want a teddy bear.

Right. Does he want me to make sure like he's a big kid and he doesn't want, you know, a girly stuffed animal?

Right.

But whatever. And so I kept thinking, what does he mean?

And then he said something to his dad.

And his dad just burst into laughter.
