Attention, Shoppers Gram and Gramps dragged me to the mall to buy me a summer wardrobe. We went into a store, and I chose a few things to try on. I had to wait 10 minutes for a dressing room-the place was packed. I went in, locked the door and put on a really cool pair of shorts. As I was admiring myself in the mirror, my grandma yelled at the top of her lungs, "Honey, do those fit in the crotch?" I heard people snickering outside, and I could feel my face getting hot. To make matters worse, she actually forced me to come out so she could see the shorts on me. I was mortified! T-Shirt Terror I was shopping at the mall one day with a few of my friends when we spotted this awesome T-shirt store. There was a huge sign in the window that said WE'LL PUT A MESSAGE ON A T-SHIRT FOR ONLY $7. All of my friends decided to get their boys or crushes names printed on tees, so I did the same. I asked the salesperson to put Dan (the name of my crush) on my shirt in huge black letters, and then we all put on our tees. When we left the store, guess who was standing there looking surprised? Yup-Dan! He laughed and said, "Nice shirt!" Slipper When Wet One day I was at the mall chillin' with my best buds. We got hungry, so we decided to buy pretzels at the food court. Waiting in line in front of us was my crush of two years. I tried to act calm and collected, and I talked to him like I was cool. I even gave him my phone number. But then as I walked away, I slipped on the floor and my bags went flying. I hadn't noticed the FLOOR IS WET sign right next to me. My crush laughed hysterically, and I felt completely humiliated. Conveyor-Belt Hell My mom and I were at the local mall shopping for spring clothes. I was wearing my new clunky clogs and carrying lots of bags, so we decided to take the moving sidewalk to the other end of the mall. I was so busy talking to her that when the sidewalk ended, I fell to the floor. I tried to get up quickly, but with my bags and clogs, I just couldn't do it. By the time I got up, I think everyone in the mall had seen my graceless tumble. I pretended to alugh it off, but I thought I was going to die. Dad's Dancing Debut The mall is the biggest hangout in town-you run into everyone. My parents and I were here browsing in the Disney Store one crowded day when my dad got a bit goofy. Just for fun, he broke into Tigger's song-and-dance routine from Winnie-the-Pooh! As if that weren't bad enough, when my stepmom and I tried to leave the store without him, Dad got on his hands and knees and followed us through the mall barking like a dog. Woof. Search and Rescue I ran into my crush at the mall one day and got up the courage to ask him to the movies. He said yes, but just as we were about to buy tickets, I realized I had lost my purse! When I remembered that my wallet had $100 in it, my ID and all of my credit cards, I started to cry. My crush offered to help me find it, and after checking nearly every inch of the mall, we found the bag in a gardening store. When we looked inside to double-check that it was mine, my stash of tampons, which was right next to my wallet, was staring us in the face. I began to turn bright red, and surprisingly, he did, too. I blurted out really loudly, "This is not my purse!" But being the big sweetheart that he is, he said, "It's okay." And then, just to make me feel better, he added, "I didn't see anything, anyway." Ride Em' Cowgirl One day I took my four-year-old niece to the mall. After we'd shopped at a few toy stores, she begged me to put her on one of those coin-operated ponies. So I popped in a quarter and she got on. But then she got upset because she wanted me to ride with her. I told her we couldn't both fit on it, so she wouldn't stop crying, so I had to get on. Of course, just as I did, a group of guys from my school's football team walked by. Yee'ha. I was pretty embarrassed. Mall Queen I was at the mall with my mom when she suddenly got this wacky idea to buy me a priness tiara and magic wand. Feeling wacky myself, I agreed, and we picked out the royal accessories. Then we got two sodas and sat down at the food court. Being the goof that I am, I jokingly put on the tiara. Just then, a guy who worked at the mall walked by and said, "You don't need to wear a crown. Everyone knows you're a priness." I immediately took the tiara off!
