Lemme Do It Again

Erik 'Dadmonger' Stevens

Different kinds of toys littered the neutral toned carpet of the playroom. All belonging to the space bunned, doe eyed four year old. Music played from her boombox, all songs approved by her. Amari stood at her made checkout counter in her little apron. She awaited her first customer, greeting him with a smile.

Erik sat the pink basket of plastic groceries on the table, giving his little princess a full smile. You watched from across the room, folding up a basket of her clothes. "How are you today, sir?" Her tiny voice made the both of you chuckle.

He watched her begin to "scan" the item, replying with a "I'm good, lil mama. How are you?"

"Blessed and highly favored." You let out the loudest cackle to her response. Another thing she'd learned from her goofy aunt. Erik chuckled, shaking his head with a smile.

Once she'd finished her scanning, she looked to the imaginary screen. "Your total is $67.54."

Erik nodded as he took out his wallet, taking out the fake card she'd given him before their game began. Once he swiped the card, Amari pursed her and looked up to him. "I'm sorry sir, but your card declined. Wanna try a different one?"

Erik raised a brow, taken back by what she'd just said. He heard you snort behind him. To which he threw you a quick playful glare. "Lemme try it again. Maybe I did it too fast.."
