Today was the day to shop for camp. You see, my daughter is going this summer for her first week at sleepaway camp (the same one I went to). Today we had to go find a footlocker, and buy her more clothes, etc.<\/p>\n
Clothes were the easy part, although I think she’s learned I won’t buy her something just because it is cute<\/i>. I think going clothes shopping shows how different gender brains are wired differently. Me, I want to get in, get what I need, and get out. Get something functional. My daughter, on the other hand, eschews functionality for cuteness, except, of course, for jeans. Lest you think I’m talking about a teenager here… she’s a 9 year old.<\/p>\n
Getting the footlocker was fun as well. Good footlockers are sturdy, wood inside the sides, etc. No popular store seems to stock them (not Target, Wal*Mart, K-Mart, Sears), nor do the sports stores have them. They are available from the web. Where did we find it: An Army-Navy Surplus store, of course! Neat store. Lots of knives and swords, camo, and other stuff for survival in the urban jungle. We just got the footlocker and a sweatshirt.<\/p>\n
Oh, and never mind what they tell you. Kids aren’t cheap!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
