#Spotted On Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A woman (60s?) is waiting to cross the road with three small humans (3 to 7?)
Gran tells everyone to: "hold hands and ONE TWO THREE SKIP!" as the little man goes green.
Chaotic skipping and breathless giggles as they cross to the other side.
A small human (4?) is sitting on a stationary tractor ride, leaning into imaginary corners, roaring to Dad: "I'm going so fast Dad! SO FAST!"
Dad nods: "Ya better watch where you're going then eh."
Stationary Small Human says: "I would but it's SO FAST. WHOA!"
A young human (10?) in a straw boater hat, a blue blazer, meticulously ironed trousers and shiny polished brogues is twirling a walking cane as he promenades with Grandad past a new dim sum restaurant.
Looking optimistic at Grandad, he says: "I would like to try going there VERY much."
A woman (20s?) boops her very serious looking partner on the nose with the sunflower she's just purchased.
Grinning, watching his expression...
Was that a smile?
Almost.
She boops him again.
He bursts into laughter.
A tiny human (2?) with palm-tree pigtails and a huge cheerful smile is sitting in a backpack on Dad's back. Dad's wearing full hiking gear, carrying poles. A rugged outdoors man.
Tiny Human's wearing a pink princess dress and holding a teddy.
Waving cheerfully to the people Dad marches past.
