The Necessities

It was one ordinary winter morning when Georgeann planned to head to the nearest Wal-Mart store to grab some essentials. That was a weekly task to buy necessary items on one pre-decided day of the week. Georgeann has never been a shopping lover and more of a person who wraps up the buying thing as quickly as possible.

So, she was supposed to make a list of items that she needed to buy, grab it from the store, pay the bills and head back home. However, this day things were going to be completely opposite to any of her past experiences…

A Solo Thing

We all have either seen or experienced what going out for shopping and taking the kids along means. Certainly, more time consumption and more expense until and unless the kids aren’t curious at all. Being a wise mother, no wonder why Georgeann always preferred to go solo. It saved her a lot of time and money. Surprisingly, that fine day, she wasn’t going to go alone and that wasn’t the only unusual thing about that particular day. In fact, it was just the beginning of a chain of unexpected events.

Slowing Things Down

Taking kids along is definitely not a wrong thing but it is when the mother wants to get the work done asap. And when that kid is Brittney, a 30 mins work will extend to at least an hour. She has always been a curious kid with a lot of questions about everything that seemed new to her. Instead of sitting at home, Brittney insisted to go along with her mom.

A Change Of Pace

Due to the cold weather, Brittney was getting very less chance to go outside.  So when she asked Georgeann if she could accompany her, she has to agree. It is necessary to get some fresh air every once in a while and Georgeann was fine with it even if it meant more time consumption. The 7-year-old couldn’t be more excited about going shopping with her.

Getting Ready

Wal-Mart is not a big thing for most of the crowd. People wear their most comfortable clothes and that’s all. Brittney, however, was overwhelmed with a sudden date plan with her mom. As soon as her mom agreed to take her along, Brittney flew into her room to dress up. When she came out of her room, the little girl was wearing her favorite outfit and holding her favorite soft toy alongside. She gently held her mother’s hand and said she was ready to go. 

The Usual Requests

Singing aloud the song on the radio, Georgeann and Brittney reached at the Wal-Mart parking in less than 15 minutes. While Georgeann was finding the perfect parking spot, Brittney got off the car and stood outside waiting for her mother. Little did she know that she was going to be spotted by a wicked-minded person out there.
