OVERHEARD IN GOREY, WEXFORD

I am walking down the street with Lara. In front of us is a boy Lara's height and about her age, 12. He is standing outside a sports shop wearing a tracksuit with his hood up and he's sucking on the butt of a cigarette. He throws it to the ground and just before he walks into the shop we hear his mother beside him say this:

"You're smoking too many cigarettes these days"

Nice. :(

Presumably he was much older, his growth was just stunted.
