The
other evening, I was at the supermarket on a Sunday to get my groceries as
usual.
When
I was doubling back in the produce section to get some carrots, a young (Asian)
woman backed her cart from sticking out of the aisle.
“Sorry!”,
she was like, flashing braces.
“No
problem,” I was like.
The
store was very busy, and there was an exceptional amount of kids doing cute
things.
One
(hispanic) family I passed had the older daughter walking beside the cart, and
the mom trailing behind, and the dad pushing the cart, with this tired young 5
year-old sitting cross-legged in the cart.
Later,
by the eggs, when I passed them again, the kid had a plastic vegetable bag out,
inflated full up and he was waving it back and forth from side to side in the
cart, though not bouncing it off the sides.
When
I went down the coffee – tea – spices aisle to go get some vacuum-packed
coffee, this little (African-American) toddler was coming up the aisle being
like “Bye bye! Bye bye!”, I think because that one N-SYNC song “Bye Bye Bye” was playing over the loudspeakers, though I’m not sure that the toddler’s
family was aware of it, or even paying attention.
