Just this morning two boys with nanny come running up, one going that way, the other this, and all the while their nanny is telling them to wait, wait. But the bigger one can’t be bothered with nannies, and sticks his hand in the green mints, stuffing them into his mouth. This, he thinks, is funny, laughing chocolaty, green teeth. And now the smaller one, with tennis shoes that flash red with every step, takes a fistful of Gummy Bears, and fits them neatly into his mouth. Although I’m there at his side, hands behind my back, he thinks nothing of plunging his tiny hand in again—deeper, Gummi Bears clinging to the plastic edge, tumbling onto the floor. By now the nanny has caught up to them and is pulling at their shirts, saying Sorry and No, no, and Sorry. But tugging at their shirts only makes for more fun. That’s when I see the mother standing by the fountain with cellphone against her ear, smiling, shaking her head as if to say isn’t that something, those boys, aren’t they something?
