"Do you have any stickers?"

Today there was a mother and her son, who came 

into the store. They walked around looking, and 

then brought up their finds to the cash registrar. 

While I was wrapping up the items, I suddenly

 realized there was Henry (I found out that was 

his name:) standing right next to me...I turned 

and he said with his big eyes looking very serious, 

"Do you have any stickers?" I replied, "No, I'm 

sorry, I don't have any stickers." He got quiet and 

then said, "What can I do?" I told him that he could

 take the bag full of their purchases to his mother.

He took it from my hands, hurriedly ran around to 

the front of the counter and plunked it on the floor

then ran back and asked,"Do you have any stickers?"

I told him no, again and he asked, "What canI do?" 

I handed him the receipt and told him he could go 

take it to his mother. He ran with the receipt then

 hurried back, and asked...yes, you guessed it, 

"Do you have any stickers?" I found it very 

difficult not to laugh right then because he was 

so expectant, not rude, just expectant; almost

 as if I could at any moment hand him these 

mysterious stickers. 

By this time, his mother said, "Henry, lets go, 

this isn't the type of store that has stickers." He 

looked at me one last time, and  I told him as he

 was leaving, "I wish I had some stickers for you."

 Maybe I should carry some in my pocket for those

 days when little "Henrys" simply ask, 

"Do you have any stickers?"
