Update to Mall Saga

Wow. This kid’s parents gave her money to spend at the mall (which I didn't expect for many reasons). Fifty bucks! So we told her she didn't have to use her money for food because that part was our treat. We gave them each over ten bucks to grab what they wanted in the food court and then extra for a pop or pretzel, whatever. Then at the end of the night after she blew most of her money, she wanted one thing that she was a little short on, so I told her I'd help her make up the difference. Then on they way home they wanted something to snack on (which was fine). Then the next morning they decided they wanted to go to the thrift stores and just try stuff on for fun... so I took them, and had lunch out again and ice cream after. Then we went in one store and there was a sweater that overnight girl was just dying for, so I said, "call your mom and see if it's ok if you get it and I'll lend you money for it, if she says it's ok". She said she did, but MiniMe told me later on that she didn't think overnight girl really called. The second place we went to I said, "you girls can look as long as you want but I'm not buying anything else. MiniMe still had $10 bucks left from the $25 I gave her at the mall, so she was actually going to buy a couple winter things to replace the T-shirts and jeans she's still living in now that it's turning colder. The friend came out of a dressing room and handed me about five outfits and said, "can you hold these for a minute" and disappeared. Then when she came back I said, "why don't you see if the sales lady will hold these for you until next Saturday because they are having a half off everything sale?" She looked at me funny and said "I thought you were buying all these for me!"
Um. No. Then when we were home, I told them to start getting her stuff around to take overnight girl home and she came out of Mini's room talking on the phone to her dad about staying an extra night. I thought MiniMe invited her. Turns out she didn't. I found out the next day that overnight girl sort of sneaked her way into one more night and then had the cajones to ask me if I'd take them to the malls in another city.Um. NO.
So I’ve decided that God created sleepovers to remind us how great our own kids are.
