The Jaw Dropping Shopping Trip

By: Catriona O’Shea

One day we were off from school and mom decided that it was a good day to go to the mall. We needed some dresses because we had so many occasions coming up. But there was so much to look at and choose from so many options made it hard to pick. First we went to JcPenny I was very lucky because we found two dresses for me right away.One was dark blue with a lime green sash, and the second one was green with all different color flowers on it.My mom decided that my two older sisters also needed dresses so we went to Tjmaxx. Alannah found a pretty purple dress with polka dots. and Tara found a gorgeous pink dress, and they also found one sky blue dress to share. While they picked out their sizes mom set down my already bought dresses to help them. We were very lucky because we would get FIVE dresses. So we walked to the checkout line to pay for my two older sisters dresses and waited as the line moved slowly. Mom was talking about how successful our shopping trip had been.

Then Alannah yelled “Who has the dresses?”

No one answered. We all looked at each other hoping that one of us was holding them. No such luck. Mom remembered that we had set the dresses down in the Communion section, while looking around. Then mom ran like mad to the Communion section. We all darted behind her trying to keep up. When we had finally run across the store to the communion section mom spotted the bag on the hook immediately. We snatched it and all took a breathe of relief. Then we walked to the checkout line and talked about how scary of a situation that was.
