Tots Will Be Tots and Fish Coins From the Well

Tots will be tots and fish coins from the well i threw some loose change into a wishing well or pond of good luck and the beautiful thing i saw spawn two little tots race over I'd say not older than three with creativity beyond their ages both climb inside the hotel lobby pond look down at the coins their eyes beaming their hearts racing, i bet which also begs the question where were the parents but i continue watching with my eyes beaming, too, more than theirs as both of the tots reach the rock wall i'd say at least 3 feet, peek over being closer to the water and coins and then tying their bodies together with one kid holding onto the other's legs and ankles like an extension ladder so that kid was able to scoop up a few coins and he did, his heart racing i bet so happy like a newborn cubs catching their first kill in that instance it was frenzy of emotions for the kids passages of life and innocence maybe a scolding from their parents later but for now mums was the word i exchange glances with the tots their raccoon smiles pouring out into my heart connie pachecho 2/8/17
