If only it were that easy

Lauren and I went to a retail store today, as a couple a little younger than us was shopping down the aisle.

Noticed a little guy next to us, maybe 2-3 years old, blonde hair, little glasses, so cute he could have been cast in Jerry Maguire.

The little guy had a toy in his hand, runs towards his parents, but stops in front of my feet, looks up and offers the toy up to me.

"Beckham!" the Mom says, "Mommy is over here!"

Little guy smile at me and then runs over to his Mom.

"So cute!" I said.

"Yah, well.. you can have him." she said with a joking smile.

Lauren and I looked at each other in a gaze.
