My wee one just came back from a nearby corner shop. She wanted to buy some sweeties for herself. So, I told her to pick up a packet of toilet rolls while she was in the shop. (Yeah, great that human puppies grow up and do messages for the parents. No wonder I don't say "Yes" to have a dog or a cat.)
Anyway, when she came back, she told me, "Tons of grannies were in the shop. I'm sure there were at least 10 in the queue!!" Well, it doesn't happen in that shop all the time, but it can happen as there are many elderly folks live in the neighbourhood. And Monday is the pay day for pensions. My wee one seemed the prey for the grannies in the shop, and she got many sweet praises for "buying a packet of toilet rolls for Mummy". (Toilet rolls for "me"?? Sounds as if I was the only one who needed them at home...) And one of the grannies gave my wee one 50 pence as pocket money. I asked her who the old woman was, but she didn't know her at all!! And another granny let her jump the queue (probably because old women usually chat for ages at the till). Even a shop assistant gave her some extra sweets for nothing. It's her lucky day, indeed.
Great, I should send my girls to the shop more often.
