Time To Face The Hard Candy Truth

(A woman and her family come in to buy some candy. One of her daughters is eating it before paying, but because they’re buying so much and she’s only eating one small piece, I don’t really mind. After a while, the woman comes up to pay.)
Me: “Okay, that’s [price] for yours.” *I gesture towards her daughter* “And I’ll just need to see hers real quick, too.”
Woman: “Oh, she already ate one.”
(She tries to hand me her money. I pause for a moment, trying to process the situation, and then gesture to her daughter again.)
Me: “You still need to pay for the rest of them, though.”
(The mother got mixed up between letting me know her daughter had eaten something and actually paying for her daughter’s bag of candy.)
