    #Spotted at a Country Market in Aotearoa New Zealand:

    A small human (6?) is telling a friend in VERY grave tones: "My Dad isn't good at LEGO. I am. But he's not."
    His friend (8?) says earnestly: "But you can teach him! He'll learn if you show him how!"

    Four small humans (3 to 6?) are crowded in front of a German sausage truck,
    Chattering like little hungry birds,
    Faces all pointed up as the owner hands down Bratwursts in buns.
    Then... Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!
    Nothing left but crumbs and memories as they race to the nearby playground.

    A tiny human (2?) is STOMPING along holding up his little wooden lion and making it ROAAAAAAAAAARRRR.
    Passing adults feigning appropriate shock and awe and this mighty beast making this magnificent noise.
    Tiny Human and MIGHTY LION continue stomping on their way.

    A young human (9?) is on a mission.
    Striding purposefully through the markets.
    Caring not for the sploosh of puddles underfoot.
    Reaching a fruit and vegetable seller and saying: "Uhm do you have any more figs? Dad ate ours before we got to the car and Mum needs more."

    A bohemian couple (60s?) are climbing into a neon purple campervan.
    A stunned looking taxidermied rabbit on the dashboard.
    Some tomato-ish plants* getting sun in a side window.
    Driving off towards the mountains on a grand eccentric adventure.

      Any typos spotted in this post were most startled to discover that Aotearoa is home to a miniature species of wooden lion with a very big voice. If typos spotted, they'll be grinning at some (not) tomato plants in a camper van window on their way to get their breakfast cup of tea.

      *Definitely not tomato plants but possibly more medicinal and good for you depending on the situation.

      Or if you think your mum would like a tale of swashbuckling pirate detectives in a post-Tudor world where a strident Anne Boleyn has divorced Henry VIII via a chopping block, there's OverLondon too!

            @georgepenney
            Yes, typos, please teach dad how to have fun with Lego the right way, that is your way!
            (Or would you insist one must construct what is in the manual? No, you can build whatever you want. But surely all typos and kids know that, only dads don't.) πŸ˜€

            Oh, and that sweet determined fig kid getting more for mum! πŸ₯°
