Yesterday I was at the Freak Lunchbox with Brenna while she bought candy and I helped her pick it out.
At the same time there were these two little girls, sisters, who were under the age of 3. One of them was bespectacled and coughing up a storm and making no effort to cover her mouth. She was just letting it fly. Why should she give a fuck? She hasn't ever heard of Pasteur or germs. The younger one was pawing every piece of candy in the store like she was marking her scent so other two year olds would know this was her territory.
Brenna and I both noticed a piece of gummi worm on the collar of the youngest of the two girls. It was like a scene out of a goddamned nature movie. The father reached over peeled the gummi worm off her collar and threw it in his mouth. It was like seeing the complete opposite of a mother bird regurgitate food for her children.
