Okay here’s a story to cheer you upSo while the cashier was ringing me up at Walmart
I’m tired AF, right
and this little six-year-old ADORABLE CHILD WITH GLASSES
walks up to the cashier with a thing of M&M’s, and says “Can you scan it now so I can start eating it?”
and the cashier, who is TIRED AS FUCK, just does it
Then the kid walks back to his dad, who is TIRED AS FUCK, and just stands there innocently
NONE of us realized what he did
until my brain processed the situation in slow-mo
and finally I was like “Wait. That’s not mine.”
and I meant THE M&MS
but the Dad said “No, it’s mine” and picked up his son
and I was like “NO, the M&Ms that he just put on my tab”
and the dad looked and saw his son holding the candy
and the cashier looked at the dad
and I looked at them
and we all looked at this kid
who just pulled a fast one on three exhausted adults
and we all started laughing
and then the cashier was like “I’ll just take that off your order”
and he goes “Man, I’m not as sharp as I used to be”
and I said “Yep, you just fell for the tricks of that criminal master mind”
and he finally smiled
And that is why I like humans today.
This is the cutest damn thing, I can’t even!
