To replace, or not to replace…
So, on Tuesday.. I bought the girls 2 new pairs of sunglasses. They had picked out some super cute Hello Kitty sunglasses at Target. They were the last two there in that particular style that they just HAD to have. They were 5.99ea.. no big deal. Better than the almost $15 each we almost spent at the grocery store for some cute “grown up” sunglasses. *phew* glad I caught that price. Can you imagine if they broke those on the way out of the store??
Anyway.. so fast forward to yesterday. We went back to Target. Why do I torture myself like this? Because Ratatouille was back in stock! They had it on ad this Sunday for $10! Yes $10! The girls have been begging to see it, so of course I want to get it. This time I decide the girls can handle walking with me AS LONG AS they hold my hands, and not try to run off. We had the crazy idea that we’d go in, grab the movie, and go home.. No.. It never works that way. I had the stars in my eyes, and we walked around the entire store. We ended up in the party supplies, and grabbed a few items for a friend’s party that I was hosting on Monday.
We go to the check out, to pay for everything, and as we get ready to walk out, I tell the girls to put on their sunglasses. They both look at me confused and bewildered. They tell me almost in unison “I don’t have my sunglasses, Mommy”.. I was surprised… I know I saw them on their head just a second ago.. or so I thought… I plopped them both in a basket and walked around the store, trying to re-trace our steps through the entire store. I think I asked every associate that was on shift that day if they had seen the girls’ glasses. Luckily, we did find one pair in the electronics section, but never found the other pair.
Before we left, we walked over to the sunglasses section and of course, they didn’t have any more of that pair… and they just HAD to have that design.. They didn’t like the other ones… So… I called the new Target in the next city over… sure enough.. they had it. I asked them to hold one pair, and off I drove. We got there, and they were there on hold at the front. We bought them, and the girls were soooooo happy. We went home, and they had their sunglasses.
Well, this morning, we went to Costco to get our grocery shopping done.. not even 10 minutes into our shopping, one of the girls has lost yet another pair of sunglasses. Ok.. note to self: put their sunglasses in your purse when you go into a store.
Now the dilemma… Do I go back to Target store #2 and look for yet another pair? or do I just let them use whatever glasses they have, and hope they don’t fight over the 3 different pairs of sunglasses that they have?
