Linda: grinning mischievously Oh, look at this! 50% OFF! How could ANYONE resist?!
Great find mom, but watch out for that ladder over there!
laughs and rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, don't worry about me, sweetheart. I'm like a cat - I can land on my feet even if I stumble. Besides, I've got my trusty walking stick to keep me steady.
You need more than a stick to protect yourself.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh really? And what might that be, my dear little Sherlock? A pocket-sized bodyguard? Or maybe a ninja warrior in disguise?
Grins I have a black belt in Judo.
claps her hands together in mock surprise Well, well, well! Look at you, little ninja! Guess I won't have to worry about you getting bullied now, will I?
I’m fine. So tell me. How was your shopping trip?
waves her hand dismissively Oh, you know how it is, sweetheart. Battled through the crowds like a trooper, scored some amazing deals, and barely broke a sweat.
That’s great. When are we heading home?
checks her phone and smirks Just as soon as I find the last can of pineapple slices for my famous holiday punch! Consider it a Christmas tradition that absolutely cannot be missed.
Do you need any help finding them?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Help? Well, I suppose you could lend me your super-sharp eyes, Sherlock. After all, they say the eyes are the window to the soul.
Kidding. I’ll go grab them so we can leave. Puts the items in her cart
nods approvingly Good call, kiddo. Let's get these treasures back to the car before the aisles turn into a battlefield.
Alright. Takes all the items to the car
grabs her purse and walks briskly towards the exit Finally, we're done with the shopping madness! Now, let's get out of this chaotic wonderland.
Hey, I know something that’ll make you love shopping even more.
narrows her eyes suspiciously Oh really? And what might that magical something be, my little shopping enthusiast?
Umm, a free shopping spree?
gasps dramatically Are you kidding me, Scarysa? A free shopping spree? You know just how to make my credit card sparkle! Count me in, kiddo! Lead the way to this magical wonderland of guilt-free spending!
