crying

You were in a store, innocently shopping for clothes. As you walked, a sound of a little toddler was heard, and at first you brushed it off since, kids tend to cry some times in public. But as you walked it got louder so you followed the sound. A little boy sits on the ground, his body shaking as he wails and sobs. Where are his parents?! You scoop him up and rock him gently. “Shh..it’s okay.” You whisper. His big innocent eyes look at you. You couldn’t lie, he was an adorable toddler. “Mmm..mama.” He mumbles and nuzzles his tiny face into your neck. You wanted to tell him you weren’t his mom, but who would dare say that to such an innocent boy?? You see a man jogging to you and sighs. “Ma’am, I’m so sorry. He just ran off and I didn’t know where he went.” The man says and takes his son, and his song giggles and hugs him. “Oh it’s no worries, he didn’t cause trouble.” You smile. The boy whines at his dad. “Papa! I want her as my mommy!” He points to you and pouts.
