this morning i went to the empty stocking thing at target.
it's for children that aren't going to get much/anything for christmas.
anyways...
i was slightly dissapointed with the outcome.
the girl i had was 11 years old, as tall as me.
she was really sweet.
so i wasn't dissapointed about that.
so we started walking around...
and she explained to me that she didn't bring in her purse because
she had too much money to just be carrying it around...
and her and her dad were going shopping after the thing at target.
i said "uhh, oh, cool"
thinking to myself, "uhh, why is she here?"
but i figured that... well i don't know what i figured.
but anyways... so then we started walking around and she started talking about
how she's getting one of those new x-box things for Christmas...
and, well... you can guess what i was thinking at that time.
then, she picked out this thing for her mom.
she found other things that she wanted and i told her "there's not enought money for that too"
and she kept saying she wanted to put her mom's present back.
and i said "i think it will make your mom REALLY happy"
so she didn't.
then she was looking at these polly pocket things...
and she was like "i get on the internet and go to the polly pocket wesite all the time"
ehhh.
anyways. i guess the thing this morning wasn't all that i thought it'd be.
there were some kids there though that were very appreciative.
i don't know.
the girls dad thanked me and it made me feel good.
but it just felt wrong that people were there that didn't have...
an... "empty stocking" i guess you could say?
