Recently, Nem-nem was very delighted to have me take her shoe shopping when I thought (mistakenly, I now learn) we were looking at all of her shoes and she didn’t have the shoes she needs. (But she’s outgrowing what she has quickly.)
At the store, she lit up, running from shoe to shoe, saying “Oh, look at this one!” – and settled with assorted “princess” (deliberately so branded) shoes.
On the way, Mago spotted a Bakugan he came to want, and was disappointed I wasn’t buying it.
He’s kept it in mind since, and decided today that he wanted to go buy it with money he earned. But the day grew too late with other activities before we could get to the store. I told him maybe I could go buy it with his money after bed time. The problem is.. while he clearly remembers the specific one among many, I’m not sure I do.
So, as we headed in to the house for bed time, I asked him to remind me what the Bakugan looks like. He says:
“I can’t actually demonstrate to you what it looks like. Unless I show you on paper”.
Mago couldn’t draw the Bakugan, so we tried a web search and found it. Says he, looking at a product search result for the Bakugan:
“According to someone, it’s four stars. According to me, it’s thirty-eight stars.”
