Bubble-gum Butt

(A regular customer comes in with her little boy who is no more than six. She fixes him an Icee and herself a fountain soda and he grabs a piece of 10¢ gum.)

Customer: “Okay, so we have a fountain drink, an Icee, and he’s got the gum.”

Little boy: *holding up one finger* “One gum today!”

(As I’m processing his mom’s transaction, the little boy notices our “anti-theft” mirror. He promptly turns around, crouches slightly, and starts shaking his butt. I start laughing uncontrollably and his mom turns around.)

Customer: *laughs, then shakes her head* “I have no idea what to say to that!”

Me: *laughing* “Oh, lord. That was too cute!”
