A few days ago I was in my supermarket stocking up on school snacks. I made eye contact and smiled at the older woman in the checkout line behind me, thinking she was certainly going to tell me how adorable the kvetchy, hangry child sitting in my shopping cart was.
Instead, I got a distraught look in return, and then she asked in a strong accent, “Tell me, how many kids do you have? Because that looks like a
lot of snacks!”
“Don’t worry,” I responded. “They only take one a day, and it’s only for school.”
