Bookstore
When my friends visited awhile back, they gave a much appreciated gift card to a bookstore for the children to use. All members of the Manry family love books and upon receiving a bookstore gift card, we all cheer. (If the bookstore happens to have a coffee shop in it, Dale cheers louder.) I was in Borders with just Josiah and Abby and remembered about the gift card and told them they could pick out a book. After they had chosen, I realized the gift card wasn’t in my purse. They were disappointed, but I promised them we would return with Gabe and Zeke the next week to use the gift card for the books. I went home and put the gift card in my purse and the next week brought all four of them to Borders. We were there for an hour, they each picked out the book they wanted, and I went up to pay. I handed the cashier the books and the gift card. “I can’t take this,” she said. “We don’t accept our competitors gift cards!” I looked at the card and for the first time noticed that it was a gift card to Barnes and Noble.
You are still having a hard time adjusting to the vast array of choices in American shopping!
That is just 2 funny yall.

love you MUGS!
