He sat there, surveying the world from his seat. Blond eyelashes flicking up and down to see things and people as they passed by. A frown of concentration furrowing his brow. His shoe kicked the air and he resettled his padded bottom into his pushchair.
Sticky bright pink sweet in mouth, he looked up with blue eyes with flecks of green.
"I love you mummy", he said.
"Love you too", said she.
She bends over to reach him and asks, "Wont you share your sweets with your dad?"
Out came the sweet from his mouth, dripping with sugar, colour and saliva and also LOVE. He took it out of his mouth with his grubby, chubby fingers and offered his sweet to his father.
"I love you daddy" he said.

Passing through.......Read your post.
This happens so very often with young kids - they will give away anything to someone they love....even the 'Sticky bright pink sweet'... 'from his mouth, dripping with sugar, colour and saliva and also LOVE.
I have also seen this happen but could never have described it so well. Good one. Thank you for sharing.
