    #Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand

    A man (80s?) with a prodigious bushy moustache takes a bite from a cream donut and SQUISH.
    Cream covering his moustache and squootling up his nostrils.
    His wife howling with laughter.

    A tiny human (2?) is crouched next to a culvert, peering inside and pointing.
    Asking Mum: "What's IN there?"
    Mum says: "Probably some bugs."
    Tiny Human Culvert Scientist looks offended at the lack of rigorous evidence to back up this statement. "NO MUM! There's not enough ROOM!"

    A tiny human (1.5?) has got Dad's car keys in his hands and is off!
    Toddle-galloping through the markets.
    Dodging and weaving!
    Chortling and giggling!
    Will he get away?!
    (Dad in hot pursuit!)

    A young human (8?) is RACING through the markets.
    Holding a paper bag out in front of him.
    Expression urgent as he passes his Mum's stall while bellowing: "IT'S AN EMERGENCY! DAD NEEDS HIS COOKIE!"

    A woman (60s?) is addressing a herd of ice-cream covered small humans (3-6?)
    Hands on hips, she says: "Okay my little fraggles, how about we take you all to the park and wear you out?"
    Little Fraggles think this is a marvellous idea.

    Any typos spotted in this post are very much looking forward to the Ngatimoti Festival tomorrow. If typos spotted, they'll be happily munching a cookie they got at the markets. (It was an emergency!)
