Sunshine, Houdini, and I went on a mission. A mission to Best Buy.
"I want to make this quick and dirty," Sunshine shouted, making her way to the laptop section of the store.
"I want one that comes in colors and has a number pad."
"Oooh this one is shiny."
"This one is sleek looking and has a design."
"How much is it? Too much."
"I like this one."
"I like that one."
"Look there's more!"
And so it went for 10 minutes until Sunshine quickly settled on the laptop of her dreams. Or as she put it, "I figure I'll destroy this thing within a year."
It took a while to find someone to help us. But once again Sunshine proved rather entertaining. After a nice guy in a blue shirt offered to get the key to unlock her new computer we stood together just waiting in the aisle. Geek Squad to the rescue.
*approaches Sunshine*
"Did Vido help you?"
"What?"
"Did a guy in a blue shirt come up and offer to help you?"
"Well this IS Best Buy, so yeah."
**glares at Sunshine and wanders off**
Sunshine paid, and Vido explained it would be an hour and a half until the computer was ready, so off we went to dinner and drinks.
Fast forward.
Picking up the computer. Sunshine has left the receipt in the car. No matter, they check her ID and give her the cool box and off we go to the exit door. And at the door? Three large men looking suspiciously at three girls carrying a computer out of the store.
*walking out of Best Buy*
*Alarm sounds*
*we stop, stare*
Sunshine says, "Uhh...I don't have my receipt." Never relinquishing her hold on the computer.
Cop says, "I'm the police."
Sunshine says, "You're not the police?"
Cop flashes gun, and says, "I AM the police."
Sunshine, Houdini and I just keep edging slowly out the door.
Cop mumbles something about something and we dissolve into giggles sounding every bit the 12 year old girls we still are somewhere inside.
