#nowplaying - lost it - zhu

Picture this: A sunny afternoon in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Mitchell, a curious toddler with tousled blonde hair and bright eyes, toddles excitedly beside his caretaker, a kind-faced man in his early 20s. They're headed down the tree-lined street towards the local liquor store, a small bell jingling as they push open the door.

Inside, fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a harsh glow on the colorful array of snacks and bottles. Mitchell's eyes widen at the sight of the nacho display, a tower of chips and cheese sauce that seems to reach the ceiling in his young imagination. His caretaker chuckles, guiding him towards the snack aisle with a gentle hand on his shoulder.

As they browse, Mitchell points eagerly at different flavors of chips, his small voice echoing in the quiet store. The caretaker patiently explains each option, letting Mitchell feel like he's part of the decision-making process. They finally settle on a bag of cheesy nachos and a small bottle of juice for Mitchell.

At the counter, Mitchell stands on his tiptoes, barely able to see over the edge. The cashier smiles down at him, making small talk as the caretaker pays. Mitchell clutches his juice bottle, feeling very grown-up as they exit the store, the bell jingling once more behind them.

As they walk home, Mitchell munches happily on a nacho chip, leaving a trail of cheese dust in his wake. The caretaker watches him with a mix of amusement and affection, knowing that this simple trip to the store is creating lasting memories for both of them.
