My Little Shopper

Yesterday Lilly and I went to CVS to pick up Andy's allergy prescription and razor blades.  I had a couple more things to grab while we were there.  In the car I asked Lilly if she wanted to sit in the cart or walk.  Why I do this I'll never know.  We have had so many CVS nightmares together that I could write a book!  So of course she picked walking.  She did pretty well!  We grabbed all the items that I needed (one being a greeting card which is hard with her) and headed to the pharmacy to check out.  Along the way she had picked up some squishy glow worm and I agreed to buy it. When we were waiting in line at the pharmacy she was eyeing the mints, gum, and candy.  She decided she wanted tic-tacs and started to try to open them.  I explained that she could have them but would have to put the glow worm back.  She thought long and hard and agreed on putting the glow worm back.  As she walked off to return it, it was my turn to check out. I hollered for her to hurry so I could pay for them.  

As I was putting the items from the cart on the counter I was focused on where she was and when she'd be coming back.  My total came to $61 and I thought that seemed high but paid and went to check on Lilly.  She was indeed putting the worm back and browsing the toys a bit...  I started to look in the bags for the receipt when I noticed many items I didn't intend to purchase!  There were Cinderella glittery stickers, birthday candles that spelled out 'Happy Birthday,' birthday horns, a book, and more.  No wonder it was so expensive!  Lilly had done a little shopping of her own while I was looking for a birthday card.

We headed to the front of the store where I promptly returned the unwanted items.

Funny and wanted to share.

This is hilarious. But--don't let her roam around in those stores alone. You never know who is looking. I realize she would do a ton of screaming but, she could be choliformed.
She must have had on her mind to throw a big party. Never know what they are thinking.
I have to read this posting again, to be sure I understand the $38 cents.

Gosh I made a mistake. $61. That would have blown my mind. You were lucky you got your money back.
You will have to trane her like I do Betty Page, to look at the price tag.
BP, never looks at the price of anything, she buys if she wants it.
Usually it is more than one item of the same. Ha.
