I was walking with Gunnar around the mall last night (Tyler had the other kids) and we happened to go past Xcetera, they were having a closing-out sale, everything 70% off. Well, how could I resist? So I pulled him in there with me to get his opinion on which earrings and bracelets and necklaces I should get.
I'm madly throwing stuff in my basket and Gunnar shyly asks me, "Do you think I should get my girlfriend something?" Awwwwww! What a little sweetie! "Yes, of course! What a great idea, Gunnar! She would LOVE jewelry, I'm sure!" So we went up and down the aisles, deciding on colors and styles. Gunnar painstakingly deliberated over this-and-that, "Do you think she would like long dangly earrings or shorter ones?", "Do girls like red or pink?", "What about a matching necklace?" It was so adorable, and I was really proud that he was being a thoughtful, caring boyfriend.
With five minutes to closing, he was in a panic, still unable to choose. Finally, as I was dumping my over-flowing basket on the counter for the salesgirl to ring through, he came up and showed me what he'd chosen -- a really beautiful pair of red chandelier earrings, not too long or dangly (I had told him her parents might not want her to have an overly-flashy pair), that look like rubies, and a stretchy, red-and-white beaded bracelet. He couldn't believe the total for both came to only $5! "Just don't tell her that, Gunnar!" Hahaha!
He's just growing up right before my very eyes! *sniff*
P.S. Levi, I know exactly what you are thinking! No! I am hereby BANNING you from that store! I don't think Amber would appreciate a bunch of cheap jewelry just because you want to save a buck! GOT IT? Quit being such a cheapskate and get her some REAL jewelry! LOL
