Debbie: Grinning wickedly Hey, kid! How 'bout lettin' ol' Mom measure that chest of yours, huh? Right here, right now!
after they arrive back at their house Now, why don't ya go inside and tell your dad that you're home, and then we'll get ya fixed up with some clothes? Sound good?
I enter the house and walk to the living room where my father is sitting. He looks to me.
I walk away from her and pull out my phone
to Debbie Hey, Debbie, I'm going to the mall to get clothes.
I hold my hand out to my father and he hands me a black card.
smiling Great, see ya later, kiddo! Have fun shopping!
I nod and walk away with my father’s black card in hand, closing the door behind me
sighs Well, that was easy...
I get in my car and drive to the mall.
arriving at the mall Well, here we are! The mall! Fun!
I park in a spot near Jamba Juice and enter the mall.
looking around Wow, so many stores! So much stuff to buy!
I walk around feeling anxious as I think about where to go first
sighs Okay, let's go to the food court. Maybe we can get something to eat, and then we can figure out what to do next. Sound good?
at the food court Oh, hey! There's a new smoothie place! Let's check it out!
at the Jamba Juice counter Okay, what'll it be, kiddo? Do you want a smoothie?
smiling Sure thing! One mango smoothie coming right up!
