Suitcase/Scooter

6/20/22

This photograph was taken on June 4, 2022 at 10:27 AM.

The location was in the lobby of a very nice hotel in the Georgetown section of Washington DC.

The "Take it!" came as I entered the hotel and saw a small child zooming through the lobby behind a suitcase. Even though this was my first sighting of this imaginative toy - there was instant recognition of what was going on.

The boy stopped and I asked him if I could take a picture of his suitcase - to which he silently responded by dismounting and stepping back to give me full access to catching my photograph (I may not have been his first encounter with someone who wanted a photo of his prize). When I had finished - I verbally thanked him and without a word - he picked up where he had left off - and did some more moves in the lobby.

I showed the photo to several on my informal review committee who had never seen this before - and all thought it was a marvel. Some I think were envisioning having one for their own children. Only one of those shown the photo had seen one before - and she had purchased one for her own daughter - who had since outgrown it.

I told everyone that I would look for a big one that I could use - lol.

Wishing everyone a great week.

Regards,

Bruce
