Shopping Chronicles

I went to 5 different stores today looking for Pogo Sticks for my neice and nephew for Christmas. Doesn't seem like that exotic of an item, but I gotta tell you, 3 out of 4 sporting goods store employees had no idea what I was talking about. I finally found one at Toys R Us but I still have one more to buy or order online or construct from PVC, duct tape and a slinky. The Toys R Us guy said he would look in the back storeroom for me, but honestly, I had to get out of there before I started to cry. Toys R Us is very upsetting in the middle of December. I would describe what it was like, but I'm still a little shell-shocked.
