A busy shopping day

Saturday's are normally very predictable in our household. Mom and Dad wake up only by noon, then wash up and drive to some local Indian restaurant where I get spicy food down Mom's stomach and downwards to my embryonic sack. After that all of us doze off until evening when they watch some movie and go to bed again.

But today was different. They woke up earlier than usual and took bath in a hurry. Grandma and Grandpa had already taken bath by then, and all of us jumped into the car shortly after and drove to the local Mall. The first stop was very noisy, so I am thinking it must be Wal-Mart. We bought a lot of stuff for me here...clothes mostly and also a bathing tub for me. Dad and grandpa inspected the Car-Seat and stroller section but didn't find anything interesting. After an hour, everyone took a break sitting down and a few minutes later resumed shopping again. When we came out of the store, I heard Dad muttering 200 dollars over and over again to Mom....whatever that means.

We then went to Dosa Grill for lunch...Dad really loves this place...so does Mom...the food is not spicy like other places they go...so I generally coax Mom to take an extra serving of Veg.Biryani and Sambar rice in this place....I didn't need to do much coaxing today...Mom took enough pulav and naan-curry for me to consider skipping food for the rest of the day. Grandpa also seemed to be pleased with the food, what with the satisfying burps and grunts, which I only hear when he is extremely pleased with the food.

Next stop was nice and quiet....definitely Babies R Us. Grandma & Pa were excited...I heard them mention something about how this store was exclusively for babies stuff. Hmm...so whats the big deal...can't there be a store for just us babies....after all we must be the easiest consumer category for the store-guys...we dont get to choose what we really like...the adults do ! More clothes here. Dad and Grandpa inspected more car seats here and they finally found a couple of them interesting. They said they would check back later...what! Does that mean no stroller for me today ! Why can't they pick that lovely stroller the guy with the purple shirt (and an ever-lasting smirk in his face) was trying so hard to sell....seemed comfy enough for me...whatever.

Then we came back.....Grandma must have been really tired...I could hear her retire to bed right away. Mom and Dad were talking about the shopping for a while after which they also slept away.
