A little boy was passing the cafe with his mom....couldnt have been more than 3 years old...said Hi...reached out and tried to hand me a cookie....I said aww, no you eat it....He took about 5 steps, stopped and bowed his head...continuing to look at the ground he handed his mom the box of cookies with a sad face. I asked her wait, is he upset that I didnt take the cookie?..She smiled and nodded, yes. I immediately asked him, do you really want me to have a cooke?....He stared emotionless....so I said Ok, Id like to have a one...still with no expression he reached for the box and took it from her hand....pulled out the same cookie with half bite mark in it and handed it to me....grabbed another for himself and took a bite as he walked away....looking to back to make sure I was eating mine....by golly I bit that damn cookie.
