Things spotted on Market Day in a small city in Aotearoa #newzealand
An elderly beagle accompanying his family to watch a brass band play flopping onto the ground and feigning the most deathly beaglish death to have ever happened because a friendly poodle dared sniff his butt.
An elderly man buying a cappuccino from a coffee cart only to announce that they were trying to poison him and declaring he'd need urgent medical intervention or he'd die. Coffee cart lady offering to make him another one for free to hurry the process (I think they knew each other)
A couple buying avocados. One selecting three after careful consideration (sniffing, juggling, long staring) only for their partner to stealthily put them back and select another three with the vibe of someone carrying out a diamond heist.
Two siblings pooling pocket money to buy bubble tea. Carefully negotiating who gets the bubbles and who gets the tea. Younger sibling somehow being swindled out of half his tea and his bubbles because "It's only fair". Older sibling obviously going to be lawyer one day.
A school teacher telling friends about a school trip with some year nines, describing it as an "experience." The latter word said with so much feeling that he got sympathetic pats on the back.
A dad telling his kids a tall tale about cabbages being vampires who sucked all the colours but the orange from carrots. (I wish I'd heard more of this but the line for the sausage in a bun moved and they walked on!)
