Just A Proud Father

A middle-aged man and his young son, around five or six, walk up to my register. The man is pointing at a “Grown Ups 2” poster.

Customer: “My son was supposed to be in that!”

Me: “Really? That’s cool!”

Customer: “Yeah, he does modeling and acting.” *Pulls out an iPhone* “Look at his headshots!”

The customer hands me his phone so I can see his son’s headshots. In the pictures, the boy has a noticeably large Afro; presently he has very short hair.

Customer: “Yeah, we had to cut off all his hair. It filled two garbage bags full!”

Me: “Wow, that’s crazy! Now would you like to try a combo?”

Customer: “Oh, no, I don’t want anything. I just wanted to share that.”

The customer grabbed his son’s hand, smiled, and walked away.
