Today I took 2 ten year olds and a 17 year old to an Indian/Indonesia/Thai shop and told them they all had a $30 limit, each. I had found the shop when I was out for my walk this morning. Just 20 minutes from the house. Mostly everything was 1/3 or 1/2 off. One of the ten year olds, Hebe, couldn’t find anything she wanted to buy. She wanted to head off to Target. My choice of shops was a complete bust for her.
Catie, now17 years old, could only find one $5 necklace. Even upon forcing her, she could only find one small wire ring.
How can I imprint myself on people who don’t want to shop!!
At least they got to smell the incense and hear the ring from the musical bowl — you know the Buddhist one that will produce the ring with a metal tong circling its rim. Unfortunately it was $90.
Just a bit outside of our single budgets.
Plus I was the only person who wanted to buy it.
Shopping isn't always fun.
