The Mark

There came a time when I asked the three granddaughters, Lucy, Zoe an Della,where they would like to shop. The response was immediate , “ Michaels!”

I asked them how they knew about the store and Lucy said, “ it’s near the bookstore.”

When we were walking to the store, Della asked , “ how much can we spend?” My response was “ 6 dollars!”

We let them browse through the store on their own, while we tracked them from the center isle.

Lucy showed me a box of crayons and asked how much. I told her it was 8 dollars. She returned the crayons to its shelf.

Della asked about a drawing set but it was 10 dollars.

Zoe hunted me down to show me a solar powered car for 15 dollars. She would build it ,test it and do a show and tell in her classroom.

I said ok.

I told Zoe to tell her sisters they can 15 dollars also. “ They know, they have a place on line with grandma.”

When Zoe and I got on line, Della and Lucy said, with big grins, “thank you for the paper too, grandpa.”

At the register, grandma told the girls , one at a time,to have their choices rung up and grandpa will pay for her flowers also!
