(I'm working the counter, and I see a six-year-old boy walk in with his mother. The mother sits in the back while the boy goes to the counter to make his order.)

Me: "Hi, sweetie! What can I get you today?"

Boy: "Can I please have a small orange-creme shake?"

Me: "Of course. Anything else?"

Boy: "No."

Me: "Alright, that'll be one-ninety."

(The boy's face crumples, and he backs away from the counter, walks in a circle, then looks back at me.)

Boy: "What?"

Me: "One-ninety?"

(The boy begins crying, and rushes back to his mother.)

Boy: "Mommy! I need $200 for my shake, and we don't have that kinda money!"

Mother: "What?"

Me: "Wait, wait, no, sweetheart! I mean it's one dollar and ninety cents!"

Boy: "Oh, okay."

(After that, he pays for his shake and acts like absolutely nothing has happened.)

made by my friend. I'm thinking of making 'the pregnant hamster' mix of funny stories, should I?
