[ WP ] Write a story beginning with : `` Are you buying that or what ? ''

`` Are you buying that or what?'' 
 
 My brain clicked back into the present. 
 
 `` Um,'' I said quietly, `` Pardon?'' 
 
 `` The groceries,'' she said, `` Are you buying them?'' 
 
 `` Oh, yes,'' I said. `` Debit, please.'' I flashed a silver piece of plastic. 
 
 The sound of children's laughter yanked my gaze to the right. Avarie and Abigail had pulled boxes out of the cardboard bin; they were wearing them like suits of armour. 
 
 `` Your *pin*, sir?'' 
 
 `` Right,'' I said, `` Sorry.'' I pressed four magic numbers. 
 
 `` Daddy, look! I'm a dragon!'' Abigail was on all fours. Only her hands and feet were visible beneath a square, brown, corrugated box. I smiled. 
 
 `` Scary!'' I said. I moved to the end of the conveyor and started bagging dinner.

 You can use this. It's really hard to communicate an idea/story with 100 words! Good challenge, thanks: )
