Big Mac Attack

Maybe it is a Chinese thing?  My in-laws wear "house clothes"/pajamas all day until they go out, then they get dressed.  They can get ready pretty fast and where at the door with their coat on and casually ask, do we want to go to the store?  Maybe hoping for a no?  Another 10 minutes to get the kids to go potty, put on shoes, coat, hat and mittens.

While still on the first floor of he supermarket, 2 of the 3, have to go potty.  The 2 floor supermarket doesn't have a restroom, so my mother-in-law takes them and doesn't return.  Shortly the last has to go.  Now we have to rush to check out and can't look at the mittens.

We used the restroom at McDonalds and ate lunch there.  All the meals are combos, no re-fills and only sweat & sour dipping sauce.  All resturants are stingy on their straws and napkins.  The Big Mac combo was 19~ $3.10, good deal.  Kids meals 21~ $3.50, McFlurry 12~$2.  

Tomorrow is my youngest's birthday.  He knows we will be buying a cake and wants chocolate.  I told my mother-in-law my plan to take the bus to the fancy mall and get a cake from their numerous bakeries.  She thought we should try the larger supermarket 1 stop down from us and order a cake for tomorrow.  At Paris Bagguette, we found a cute cake with an airplane on top, but they informed us they would not make chocolate cakes for tomorrow.  I don't know why we couldn't buy the one in the display case today?

In the supermarket, their cakes were much better priced and found a cute rabit with vegetables, but their person who makes them was not in today and may not be in tomorrow?  What?  I did find Hunt's canned spegetti sauce you can get for $1 back home, imported  for 26~$4.50.

Again before we can get to the 2nd floor of the supermarket and see any clothes aka mittens they have to go potty again.  We hurry up and checkout to exit and find a bathroom in KFC.  Where a young girl selling Amway tried to sell us vitamins.

My goal was to try to learn how to crochet and knit here.  I've mastered the chain stitch.  I don't know if I'll be able to wrap my head around the next step she is trying to teach me. 

You may be wondering about my going on about mittens.  They have the CUTEST mittens here!
