in carson california on carson street I saw an unusual storefront sign and used my phone to take a picture

but as i turned to go back to the sidewalk a young man standing in a storefront about 30 feet away with suspicion in his voice half-yellingly asked me what my white ass was doing taking pictures

so as disarmingly as i could and knowing that honesty is the best policy when dipped in diplomacy i told him i was from out of town and i had never seen a sign that said “Mommy’s Nutrition” before and i wanted a picture

and he realizing that i was a harmless pedestrian tourist and not some snooping sneaking ne’er-do-well said “my bad” and i relievedly said “we’re good” and got back to the sidewalk heading west
