#Spotted On Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
Two men (40s & 50s?) meet in a bustling market:
The first says: "Hey Buddy."
The second says: "Hey."
The first says: "Bought a dingy."
The second says: "Fishing?"
The first says: "Yeah.
The second says: "Done."
Satisfied, they part ways.
At a carnivorous plant stall: A man (80s?) furtively looks around.
No one looking?
Good.
Right.
Grinning to himself with the air of a naughty school kid he sticks his pinky in a Venus fly trap.
Laughing to himself when it doesn't bite, then going on his way.
A cheerfully bustling woman (50s?) is arranging fresh peonies in a public toilet, shower and clothes washing space.
Four vases of fresh cut flowers decorating the sinks.
Satisfied, she stands back, admires her handiwork and nods her head.
This is correct.
In an ice cream shop a woman (40s?) says: "Kia ora*, could you please get me--" She pauses to ask what her small human (4?) would like.
Small Human whispers a request like someone imparting top secret intelligence.
Mum nods and finishes her order: "A strawberry cone. With sprinkles on top."
A woman (30s?) is lifting her tiny human (2?) up so he can use a water fountain.
But what is this?
Tiny Human has invented a new way of drinking water?
Turning his head at the last minute so the water goes all over his cheek.
Howling with laughter as Mum shakes her head and calls him a doofus.
