Analysis of a shopping trip

We went to Wal-Mart last night. Ewan had some birthday money and gift card that were burning a hole in his pocket. Other boys had some cash, too. Kella just wanted to go along for the ride and pretty soon, it was a family affair.

I feel like the items the kids chose to get are representations of their personalities.

Kella: a fairy dress, crown and earings for the little princess (one Halloween costume down)

Liam: a little Lego kit for the boy who looks up to his brothers and wants to be included

Ewan: 3 different Lego kits, because why not? The boy loves to build.

Cale: a nerf type gun for the competitive, sometimes aggressive child. We have been under fire since then.

Marcus did not get anything. He is on a quest to save money for a Wii U. And, actually, the boys have their portion. I said we would donate $50 to their cause. I will say that Marcus is the chief investor in the new system. He is a good saver.

Kinley didn't get anything. Poor, 6th child. She got to walk around and be told she was cute by total strangers.
