The Trails of Children
Normally Remus wouldn't have minded having a little company on his grocery shopping trip, but the full moon was nearing, and his patience was wearing dangerously thin.
"Tomatoes... check." he murmured as he put his chosen fruits in a bag.
"Remus, can we get strawberries? Pleeeeeeaassee?"
"No. They're out of season and expensive."
"But I want some! OooOoo, CHOCOLATE!"
"Not chocolate. Not today."
Silence reigned for a few minutes, then -
"COOKIES!"
"No."
"Candy?"
"No."
"Starbucks???"
"For heaven's sake, NO!"
"C'mon, can we get a pizza at least? Pretty please with a cherry on top?"
"Is it on sale?"
"Well, no..."
"Do we have a coupon for it?"
"Weelll... but..."
"Do we?"
".....nooo...."
"Then no."
"That's not FAIR!!!"
"Life's not fair."
"Oooohh... chips!"
Poor Remus's limited won patience finally snapped. "You know what?!?! If you cannot act your age, Sirius, you cannot come shopping with me anymore!"
