Pink Tale #35, Dad & 2 Little Girls
At Substation FM
Market opens at 9am but a few shoppers come wandering in early. I was still setting up my stall when a Dad with his two little girls, both in pink, come directly to the pink stall.
Me: Good morning! You’re up early!
Dad: Oh yes. They were up at dawn so excited to go to the farmers market. They wanted me to take them even then!
Me: Did you now? Good on you girls! Would you like to taste the Pink Muesli?
Girls Chorus: Yes, please! (with matching nods. I put small chunks onto their outstretched palms, and Dad’s)
Dad: Umm, did you like that girls? (girls nod in unison) So which one did you like best.
Girls Chorus: This one! (one points to PM Berries, the other points to PM Coconut Caramel) Dad: Oh but we’re only getting one.
Girl1: Let’s get this one! (PM Berries)
Girl2: But I like this one! (PM Coconut Caramel) (She starts to whine.)
Dad: Oh, alright, we’ll get two.
Girls Chorus: Yay!
Me: Excellent choice girls, well done! (I hand each one their pick of PM)
Girls Chorus: Can I hold it Daddy?
Dad: Yes, you may.
Girls Chorus: Yay! (girls skip away, swinging their little arms holding their prize triumphantly) Me: Thanks Dad!
Dad: Thank you!
I love it when children start young to develop a taste for healthy food!
