Mall Day
I went shopping with my Papa and my sister today at the mall. (Papa sat around and let me and my sister shop, occasionally breaking out his wallet.)
It took my sister forever to buy shoes in Famous Footwear. Then we went by Tilly's, where the clothes were all gigantic. I could have fit, like, three mes into some of those dresses. (I'm petite and America's fat. It's a problem I have.) So we decided to go somewhere else.
We went by Hot Topic, where I bought a couple of shirts. One was a My Chemical Romance The Black Parade T shirt, and the other read "I'd rather wear flowers in my hair than diamonds around my neck." My sister bought some hair ribbons, and I helped her put them into her hair.
We went shopping at Papaya and Cotton On, before going for lunch at Mimi's Cafe. I had a tall glass of milk and a chicken pot pie. Me and my sister played around with straws, and I explained tips to my sister. (She's younger than I am.)
Next, we went by Gamestop -- for video games -- and Barnes & Noble -- for books. Both were absolute necessities. I went straight for the psychology section at Barnes & Noble. I am morbidly fascinated by the myriad ways in which the brain can break down.
As we were driving back toward home, a car drove right out horizontally in front of us and nearly hit us. We were this close to dying. By the way, nearly hitting someone who has panic attacks? Not a nice thing to do. It took a couple of minutes for my heart to stop palpitating.
But we did make it home alive, miracle of miracles, and then my sister and I went out with our parents. Every Thursday evening, in our small town, people with really nice antique cars from all over the region come out and drive up and down main street, revving their engines and honking their horns. We walked down to main street and watched the cool old cars pass by...
