Oh, children

At the post office today there was this little girl (I'd guess 3 yrs old), and she was with her mom. She wanted to go sit on a bench that was close to the front of the line, and her mom said she could, but she(the mom) would have to wait in line while her daughter sat there. The girl was upset her mommy couldn't go up there and be by her while she sat, so she started whining, which escalated to balling. She was soon crying, telling her mommy she didn't want to go over "there" alone, because "that man over there is scaring me!"

Good thing she didn't specify which man.

Some man came in with his two sons while I was closer to the front of the line, and one of the sons, who I'd guess is five or so, went up to the trash can and pushed in the lid, sticking his head partially inside. Then he said "Ew, that smells."
I basically couldn't stop laughing, and the people around me in line were staring at me. I laughed even harder when the kid's dad said "Well yes, that is a garbage can."
