Mall Madness

While we were at my cousin's house in Cordova we decided to go to Wolfchase Galleria, the area's 2-story mall. We just window-shopped as there was no money in the budget to purchase anything. That's OK.

Erin, our 13yo daughter, was really the one that wanted to go. She wanted a couple of girlfriends to go but had to settle for going with just me, Caleb and Shawn (cousin). Maybe next time, we can take a few friends.

What's new at the mall? NOTHING. Same boring, high priced merchandise. I can't see paying those prices for things my kids are going to outgrow in about 2 months, if I'm lucky!

Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, and something called Ed Hardy (which I'd never heard of until my cousin pointed them out)= ALL TOO MUCH! Not to mention the fact that I did not see even ONE "modest" dress from one of those clothing stores. These people have lost their minds. How do they expect the modern American family to pay those prices? No wonder the debt for America is so high. Stupid people charge these shirts and pants, shoes and socks, on their charge card. Or, they spend their paychecks on their kids wants. Because I bet they are not "needs."

I am glad that my kids do not care about the name on the shirt. They only care about how their clothes look and feel. I pray they understand that it's not what you wear on the outside. You can't take it with you and God could care less, I would venture to say, whether or not you were wearing a dress you bought at Hollister or from the neighborhood yard sale!
