Purses, Presents, Cookies and Escalators

Big shopping day at the mall yesterday. We went to get a Father's Day present for Dad, then walked through the whole mall.



Required Activities at the Mall:

1. Buy candies from the gumball machine.

2. Walk past stores, but do not go in the ones Mom wants to go into, only the one with clothes too big for Miriam and too small for Mom.

3. Go to the children's play area. Do not take off shoes, and never put purse down as you climb on the toys.

4. Ride the horse in the carousel. Frightening and fun.

5. Go up and down the escalator only if Mom makes you.

6. Lay on the floor in front of the store Mom tries to shop through with her eyes.

7. Try to talk Mom into renting the car stroller for the day for $5.

8. Insist on Cinnabun's and ice cream, but settle for Mrs. Fields' cookies after intense negotiation.


9. Sit on a bench and survey the scene.

10. Take cookies outside by the fountain.


11. Call Dad. So sad. Must work.

12. Go back inside, buy torpedo sandwiches (just the name makes them cool) and take them with the one remaining cookie to Dad at work.
