Ich mag Zucker soooooo gern...

I traveled to Frankfurt for a couple of days to formalize one of my work stages, and while I was there I had an extra hour of time to walk around the area by my hotel. Around a fountain a small fair had set up with a crepe stand, flavored ice, a carousal, etc. Right as I walked by, two small children had just received their crepes from their father, who was in the process of paying. The older child, a boy, took a bite and then just as he pulled it away from his mouth, “plat!” the crepe fell on the ground. The younger child, a girl, had also taken a bite at this point. When she saw her brother’s crepe fall, she paused a quick moment and then with a mighty “plat!” dropped hers, too. Distracted by the falling of her brother’s crepe, she had failed to pay attention to her own.  The two kids looked at each other and then furtively looked over to their father with intense fear on their faces. When they realized he was still busy with the crepe lady, they hurriedly picked up their crepes, dusted them off and placed them back on their napkins. As their father turned around, the children were happily munching away and watching the carousel horses go round and round as if nothing had happened...
