while waiting for the shuttle to arrive, i noticed a pair of siblings sitting on the curb (under the watchful eye of their mum of course)

the sister gazed covetously as her brother who held his drink tightly,
took large gulps of the beverage. she, ensuring he'd not finish it all, i believe.

until she grew impatient, reached out her hand to called for mom and declared her turn.
