I watched 3 little boys try to buy oreos.

One was trying to shove a gummy bear into a coin slot
Another kneeled on the ground with dollar bills splayed in front of him
The other was trying - and failing - to type out the corresponding numbers for the oreos.

They yelled and laughed and pushed at each other in a beautifully obnoxious sort of way.

A boy puts in a dollar and out comes a coin - but no cookie packet.
They're confused, so they run off to get a woman, mom, to help.

I take the chance to step forward and buy my own peanut butter cookie.
As well as step back and love my child self.
