[Nice tone] Do you want to go to the playground! [Mumble] Do you want to go buy shoes? [Exuberant] Or do you want to go to STARBUCKS!<br \/>Pie: Shoes! Shoes! Buy shoes!<br \/>So I took her to the shoe store where she picked out a lovely pair of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zappos.com\/n\/p\/dp\/7574529.html\">shoes<\/a> (in the dark burgundy) for herself. (I myself finally replaced those 2001 Merrells&#8230; with another pair of Merrells. What can I say? I live dangerously.)<\/p>\n<p>So, anyway, yesterday we were at a kids store as I was looking for a baby gift. Pie is having a blast. She picks up a (admittedly cute) baby hat. &#8220;Get this one, Mommy! This hat!&#8221; I explain it&#8217;s not quite what I&#8217;m looking for. I&#8217;m still searching the racks when Pie comes bouncing over with huge smile on her face and a very fancy dress in her hands. &#8220;Mommy! I <i>like<\/i> this! I <i>really<\/i> like this!&#8221; I evaluate. She&#8217;d have nowhere to wear it, but it is a cute dress. &#8220;Buy this dress, Mommy!&#8221; I peek at the tag. She&#8217;s even picked out the right size. And then I look at the price tag: $50. &#8220;Not a chance, kiddo,&#8221; I tell her. &#8220;Put it back.&#8221; She gives one sad, &#8220;But I like it!&#8221; but does put it back on the shelf for me. <\/p>\n<p>My two year old has better taste in apparel than I do. Maybe I should let her take me shopping&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve blogged a few times before about how I&#8217;m shopping impaired.
