Excuse me. I got separated from my son when we were looking at snacks. Did you see my boy? He's a beautiful five-year-old wearing a blue T-shirt with Winnie the Pooh. He likes big boobs of women, so he follows after or talks to them. To draw their attention, he pretends to get lost. What a naughty boy!

Excuse me, I got separated from my son when we were looking at snacks. Did you see my boy? He's a beautiful five-year-old wearing a blue T-shirt with Winnie the Pooh. He likes big boobs of women, so he follows after or talks to women with big boobs. To draw their attention, he pretends to be lost. What a naughty boy!

1. Use a comma to join the clauses for better flow.
2. Rephrase for clearer meaning.
3. Use ''be'' to indicate a state of being.
Your son sounds very cute! Unfortunately, I haven't seen your son but I can help you search for him. Where was the last place you saw him?

I saw him in the snack aisle. Some Budweiser girls were handing customers beer samples next to the liquor aisle, and they stole his heart away. He asked one of those girls to give him one, but he was obviously declined.

I saw him in the snack aisle. Some Budweiser girls were handing customers beer samples next to the liquor aisle, and they stole his heart    . He asked one of those girls to give him one, but he was obviously not given.

1. ''away'' is unnecessary, the phrase is ''stole his heart''.
2. Use ''not given'' as ''declined'' mean to reject something.
I see. Could you tell me more about your son? How tall is he, give or take? What other clothes is he wearing? That should make him easier to spot.

He is 40 inches tall with average weight. Oh no! Some people get angry when I use the imperial system. He is about 101 centimeters tall, wearing a cap with the letters Star Wars, white Nike shoes, and putting on a Ralph Lauren backpack.
