I was called down to tools because they needed help in the toy department. This isn't my department anymore...but I was feeling nice. A mom watched to buy a large ride on toy but it didn't have a stock number on it. So, I was looking it up on the computer.
Now, the computer is stationed right next to our Christmas displays. We have several trees displayed on a ground covered in that white fabric that looks like snow. It's hard to describe. Basically, it looks like the trees are sitting in snow.
Her little boy (maybe about five) wanders over and in the loudest, cutest voice, screeched: "MOMMY SNOOOOOOOW!"
He falls to his hands and knees, crawls over to the "snow" and reaches out to touch it. His joyous face immediately clouds with confusion.
"Heeeeeeeeeey. This isn't SNOOOOOW," he cried. "It's not cold and stuuuuff!"
I just about died laughing. I know I shouldn't have, as the child looked so utterly happy when he set eyes on the "snow." You know when a kid's eyes light up and his mouth opens wide in amazement--that was how this little boy looked before he realized that the snow wasn't real. I felt so damn bad for him, really.
I still get this silly smile on my face just thinking about him.
