A Grand Day Out
May 12th, 2008 by witherow
It’s happened before and it will probably happen again. A sibling (Heidi) got older. To mark the passing of this event, we (my two other siblings and I) decided to take said sibling for a grand day out.
We went to the outlet stores in Gaffney, South Carolina. That was fun in itself, but even more fun was taking three digital cameras with us and attempting photo journalism while we were there. We didn’t quite get photo journalism, but we did get this:
The cast of characters: Becky, Molly, Heidi, me and my good ol’ purple Saturn.
First stop: the sock store. Yes, in an outlet mall, you may just find an entire store devoted to selling socks.
Becky and Molly were quite thrilled.
Heidi … not so much.
So we went to Kaybee Toys instead. Heidi was much happier there. So happy she hugged a mechanical puppy. (Don’t tell Marzipan!)
We found some unusually large Pokemon. So we took pictures of them. Kawaii!! (That’s Japanese for “sappy big-eyed cuteness”)
I found a My Little Pony! It’s like a blast from the past. (It’s really sad when toys you played with as a kid are now retro). Anywho, this one wears a tutu and dances in a little circle. It’s called “Twirly Twinkle Twirl.” Seriously. I would love to know what goes on in the My Little Pony, Inc. brainstorming meetings. This name probably took like three whole minutes to come up with.
And then we found a T-shirt with a unicorn with a unibrow. Funny, but wrong.
“Wait,” you may be asking. “Is that a water tower in the shape of a giant peach?” Why yes, yes it is. Just more support for my theory that people (in this case, Southerners) are weird.
Okay, Becky, that’s not funny! Well, only kinda funny. <<for those who can’t see it, she’s looking worried about my driving >>

hahahahaha! Thanks for describing the picture of Becky’s apparent concern about your driving habits. I love the entry! That rocks my socks! I’m glad you went to a sock store first . . .

That is so funny! I can only imagine that this was not all of the fun.
