Shoe shopping with teenage girl: we visit every shop in an enormous shopping mall. Shoe shops twice, some three times, milk shake bar once, chocolatery once, all other clothing shops at least once.
After two and half hours we find a nice summer dress, which – of course – she can’t wear this autumn anymore, but it’s there for next summer.
Didn’t buy shoes because we didn’t find ones she liked. They were all ugly or otherwise wrong. Half of them were tried on anyway.
When we got home, she realised she doesn’t have anything to wear with a new summer dress. So we decide to go again tomorrow and renew whole wardrobe to get something that goes with that new summer dress. Not going to buy new shoes, she doesn’t really need them. Unless we find really cool ones, with 6-inch heels and goes with that summer dress – and if they don’t, we’ll buy a new dress, that goes with them. And a blouse, And a coat. And – well, you get the point.
Shopping with teenage boy: At first shop “I’ll take that hoodie, that pullover, and those trouser, do I have to try them on?”. Yes, you have to try them on. To the counter, I’ll pay, and then out. Eight minutes.
