Stores

Ever since a recent trip to the shoe store, Jasmine has been fixated. I think she realized that there must be a store out there for every desire.

"Can we go to the dress store?" You have plenty of dresses, Jasmine.

"Can we go to the cookie store?" This actually means the grocery store, but you can tell what her favorite part is. (She only gets one.)

"Can we go to the movie store?" How about we just pick one off the shelf, from among the dozens.

"Can we go to the house store?" I haven't quite figured that one out yet. It's not like we've used up our house.

"Can we go to the coffee store?" Okay, I'm pretty agreeable there. (I only get one.)

"Can we go to the noodle store?" She's not a picky eater in general, but pasta is her favorite.

And so on, through the day. "Hey Jasmine, how about we go to the nap store?"

"No thanks!"
