So...I was standing in the queue at Boots, just behind a lady with a small child in a pushchair.
Ahead of us was another couple.They also had a child who was playing with the barrier rope.
He was innocently walking underneath and blowing a raspberry each time he did it.
Suddenly the child in the pushchair began to chuckle.
.This caught "barrier boys" attention and he looked over.
The chuckling stopped.
He soon realised that he was instrumental in the chuckling as, each time he did his trick , "pushchair baby" chuckled like mad.
This made both small children very happy and the game continued , chuckling was louder each time and the act that caused it became more and more elaborate in order to elicit greater chuckles.
Obviously it stopped when barrier boys parents moved away but not before the whole queue had become entranced with this display.
It was quite magical and led me to wonder why it is that children can do something so simple when the reward is nothing more than to know they have made someone else happy?
Yet we as adults would require so much more if we put in so much effort.
When did we lose the knack?
Children rock.
Yes they do.
