#Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A man (80s?), the spitting image of Tom Waits in a disheveled tweed coat and a homburg is enjoying an espresso at an outdoor cafe table. Looking up and breaking into a tender smile on seeing a woman (80s?) approaching. Standing, he pulls out her chair.

A tiny human (2?) in an orange woolly jumper, with an adorably shy smile, is running up to every single person he meets before whispering, "Happy birfday!" Grinning and running off to the next person! Look at him go!

A dad (20s?) waiting for his lunch at a Filipino food truck is hugging a tiny new human (days?) to his chest, singing a soft song, smooching a small fuzzy black head of hair. The world is happening around him, but he's in the zone.

A small human (3?) in a bucket hat covered in crocodiles, wearing a tie dye T-shirt is singing a happy song while doing a boogie woogie in front of a cheese stall. Cheese is happening and it deserves some dancing!

A small human is MOST upset. Tears flowing, lower lip wobbling.
Dad says: "What's the problem Bud? What's wrong?"
Small Upset Human says with watery woe: "You weren't watching me when I did my trick!"
Dad giving him a hug and asking for a repeat performance.
