#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand

A small human (3?) is huffing and puffing waiting for Mum to finish talking with a friend.
He tugs Mum's jumper.
Hmm, no reaction.
Well this is vexing.
What if he licks this cafe window?
Darting a look at Mum
Poking his tongue out as far as it'll go
aaaaand...
AH HA!
NOW she's paying attention!

A tiny human (2?) and Dad are hard at work colouring a picture of a horse.
Both holding onto the pink pencil.
Wearing matching frowns of concentration.
Rain falling outside the window.
The scent of coffee in the air.

A tiny human (2?) is told by Mum to return the three Matchbox cars he's been playing with to the cafe's toybox.
He studies them for a moment, hands on hips.
Mum's suggesting he take them all at once,
but nope!
One at a time.
That's the way.
Stomping back and forward with MAXIMUM purpose.

A tiny wriggly puppy (beagle cross bouncy ball?) doesn't quite understand the concept of going for a walk.
Roly-polying on his back.
Squirm tummying up to his human.
Waggy tailing at every passerby.
Puppy kisses for EVERYONE.
(Who needs to walk anyway when there's this much love to go around?)

A man (30s?) bolts into a cafe.
Expression harried,
Eyes wide as they alight on the cake display.
He stops in front of the counter and shakes his head.
"Don't tell me I missed the muffins!"
The server laughs. "You missed the muffins."
"I missed the muffins?!"
"You missed the muffins."
