Pause Buttons and Gift Cards



Here's a little back story.....Naysia hates shopping, especially with me.  Apparently like most moms I'm pretty lame.
That being said, here's a brief glimpse of what our shopping trip was like this afternoon. 

After work/school today we tried to do a little shopping.  We first stopped at DSW for flip flops.  She didn't want flip flops, she wanted red Converse.  That's great, but they didn't have her size.  She tried on a size 10 and attempted to convince me that they fit.  When asked to demonstrate, she did this slow shuffle to keep from showing just how big they were.  She pleaded her case about how great they were, I did that muffled whisper mom yell thing, trying not to embarrass her.  We left with no shoes.

Next stop Target.  Naysia does not wear shorts, ever.  Amazing to me because it's 108 degrees out.  Junior section of the store had some cute items, that is if you like your butt cheeks hanging out.  We disagreed about everything: shorts, t-shirts, shoes, earrings, pajamas, purses, lip gloss, deodorant--the only section we didn't fight in was the grocery aisle, only because we didn't go over there.

45 minutes and $100.07 later... She got plenty of powder and pajama pants.  She still needs shorts, t-shirts and flip flops.  I need more time and money.  What has to be put under the pillow for a gift card/pause button fairy to make a visit tonight?
