The shopping spree
We, my wife and I, took our three young granddaughters , Della,Zoe and Lucy, shopping before at the dollar store. Our thinking was that they can pick out their own toys and save us the uncertainty of buying the right gift for each of them.
Carole gave each girl five dollars to spend which we thought was adequate for their tastes. They could buy more than one gift each; they had five dollars after all.
They could shop the children’s isle for as long as was needed.
We told the three musketeers that we would be browsing different isles and would meet them at the cash register.
They were waiting at the cash register for us. We were stunned somewhat since they had nothing in their hands but their five bills, which they handed back to grandma.
Della, the introvert, casually remarked that they only had cheap toys for kids!
