Sears

Tonight, I had to run to Sears for an errand. I was looking at pajamas for the kids, and Tayva found a clearance section. So, she was looking around and found a princess purse. It was regularly $15 on sale for $4. She asked if we could buy the purse. I figured that since she LOVES dressing as a princess, and she LOVES purses, we could get it. (she really does love purses--it is so funny. Seems like she has to take one everywhere--we even forgot it at church last week, and had to turn around and go back to get it!) Anyway, I told her that if she sat still in the cart and was obedient, i would get it for her before we left. So, I did my looking around, was ready to check out. Tayva had done a great job, so I was going to buy the princess purse for her. I looked at Tayva and she had something in her mouth, so I asked her about it. Turns out, she bit the price tag off the purse, and chewed it up!!! (this is actually really unlike her, and I couldn't believe it) So, I asked her why she did it, and explained that they need that price tag on it for us to buy it!! She started to cry and cry--she felt bad, but she was also worried she wasn't going to get her purse!!! I am glad it didn't take her long to settle down.
Fortunatly there was ONE other purse left, so I took it up to the counter with me. I felt kinda weird explaining WHY there was no price tag on the first purse. The clerk was really nice about it, and told Tayva it was ok. Oh the joys......"where joy abounds" right?
