"All right, remember that movie we saw? It's not that big a deal. Just like a little room, only it moves."
She gently tugged him along, though there were another pair of children running past near them. One was a little girl in a pink dress with a toy tiara on her head, the other a boy with a toy bow, and a green cap on his head.
"But I wanted to be Robin!" The girl exclaimed.
"Nu-uh, you can't be Robin Hood, you're a girl! You have to be Maid Marian."
"But I don't wanna, I wanna a bow too! I wanna be Hawkeye!"
The boy scoffed at that, "Dur... Hawkeye was a boy too."
Only for the girl to triumphantly go as they continued running around, "Nu-uh, there's a girl called that now too! I saw her on the news."
"Fine, but I still get to be Robin Hood!" The boy said as they hurried into another section of the toy store, their voices eventually fading into the background noise of shoppers and store workers, and the various sounds of thousands of devices and toys.
Kate watched them go, and quietly said, "...Well, that was seriously surreal."
