If you knock, I will answer

I was scooping a Gold Medal Ribbon kids' cone for a little boy when I heard a tap on the freezer. I was bent down so far that my entire head and abdomen were immersed. Going for the path of least resistence, I looked up and through the glass freezer wall. A little girl about 5 years old had her finger on the freezer, jabbing her nail into the wall. I looked up farther to meet her eyes. Upon seeing me looking at her through the underbellies of the freezer, she jumped back. Her little hands clasped her father's thigh as she hid behind his legs.

In peace now, I continued scooping.

If you knock, I will answer.
