Mallin' It

Today when the boys came home from school, we went to the mall. Big Son's Ipod was having problems so we went to the Apple store to see if it could be fixed. Thank God that when he bought it I talked him into purchasing the warranty package. The Ipod couldn't be repaired; however, because of the warranty program he is getting a new one for $50. He was happy. Then I talked the boys into doing one of my favorite thing. We sat on a bench in the center of the mall where it was busy and people watched. Then I talked them into picking out a person and telling what they thought that person was about. You know, the usual. Kids, are they happy, married, what type of job they have, etc. It seemed like they had fun.

Then the best part. I talked them (again) into doing something they never do. Go into a store and try on cloths that I give them. The deal was I would buy them a pair of shorts and shirt each if they did it. They Had FUN. My boys HATE trying on clothes. I picked out clothes that they usually don't wear, and believe it or not they actually picked those clothes. And they did it in 3 different stores. We had a lot of good laughs. Obviously my boys went to bed early last night and had a good day at school to do this with me. The only bummer was that my camera broke.
