Mommy Daughter Day

Saturday, Carlie and I had another MDD. This time, I decided to surprise her and take her to the American Girl movie showing at the mall where the new AG store recently opened. I wasn't the only one who made reservations.

Once we got in line, a woman in front of me blurts out, "You're Fred and Jan's daughter!" I thought she looked familiar but didn't expect to see anyone I knew coming from Indiana.

The movie was McKenna. So, there were gymnastics demonstrations going on while everyone waited in line to get into the show. Some of us ended up in the second row where you have to look up the entire movie. I don't know who the idiotic brilliant person is who thought putting seats 8 feet from the giant screen was a good idea.

After the movie we walked over to the store. It was crowded. Crowded is not the right word, more like CRAZY MADHOUSE. Ugh! I was getting claustrophobic, and I don't get claustrophobic. Put me in a stadium full of rabid baseball, football, or basketball fans, and I'm great. This was a nightmare. I will never go back on a Saturday.

But, it's not about me. Carlie had a great time! And, her dolls are enjoying their new t-shirts which were the only things I could afford. Maybe next time Mike can take her (or Grammy).
