Childer pleye


A little girl, who could not possibly have long celebrated her first birthday, was being carried on daddy’s left arm as he wrestled to extract his plastic from his wallet.

He held the card between his teeth as he tucked the wallet away.

The little girl, giggling with delight, snatched the card and, quick as a flash, leaned right down, backwards, to insert it in to the chip & pin machine at the self-service till.

She certainly had it the right way up, not sure if it was the right way round with the chip end in the machine. Nor did I hang around to see if she tapped in the pin number.

But so it goes. What is just confusing, or miraculous, to those who witnessed its first coming, becomes a commonplace before you know it.

Mere childs play.
