One thing I really love about my job, is the sheer amount of cute little kids that come in. And all i have to do is give them suckers! Their faces light up like I'm the bestest grown-up in the whole world, and I'm like, "yeah. yeah I am." And once, I even had one sign a check for me. But I'll tell that story later. Today's post is about one ostentatious little three-year old, whose name shall not be published, because that's probably really not safe.
This little chick-a-dee was super adorable, like most three year olds. Cheerful, friendly, and completely lacking in filters for their words. She's standing there, while her mom is depositing a check, and another lady comes up to chat with the teller. (Okay, small-town warning: We know you like us, and see us as friends, but if we're with somebody, JUST WAIT IN LINE. Sorry, had to say that.) But the teller (not me, btw) was pretty good and mostly focused on her current customer. So Mrs. Chatty-Kathy turns to wait, and stops and says hello to Cute Kid. And the ensuing conversation had me silently laughing in my corner.
"Hey there, cutie! What's your name?"
"*insert cute kid's real name* I'm three."
"Wow! That's pretty big, *insert wrong name*"
"No. My name is..*correct name*. Geez, silly."
*laughing* "Oh! I'm sorry, honey. *correct name* Are you doing some banking today?"
"Nope! My mommy is. See? She's right here. This is my mommy." *super proud*
At this moment a girl walks up to Mrs. Chatty-Kathy and asks her about milk or some other grocery need.
After answering lady turns back to little girl and says, "This is MY daughter. I'm her mommy!" *Pride also evident.*
"Oh! Hello! What's your name? Do you have a little boy?"
Daughter: "Uhhh..."
Chatty-Kathy: "Well, honey, no. She's not really big enough for that."
Cute Kid: *sounding very knowledgeable* "Oh, okay. Well, its okay. One day, when you're as big as I am, you can maybe have a little boy." Then turns around and walks away, so very matter-of-factly.
I was dying of laughter inside, because, she's so tiny! Then someone mutters, "i sure hope that kid doesn't have her own kid."
Haha gotta love little kids in a small town.
