Little boy, eight-ish, walked up to the counter with $3.00 to buy his mother coffee. Lady ahead of me moved to let him get a better look at the bakery. He plopped his money down. He pointed at an M&M cookie, “How much is that?”
Barista answered, “$1.49.”
Wrinkling his nose, he pointed to another, “What about that?”
“1.89.”
He stuffed his hands in his pockets and kicked at the floor.
The lady in front of me got her Latte and left. And the little boy got his mother’s coffee, an M&M cookie and his $3.00 back, with a smile.

Happens to me all the time.

This would work for my son, he's so cute, but will he help out his old dad? NO!

He sure wasn't at Starbucks! Or should I say "Fourbucks."
