Next Up on Hoarders
I was sitting on the couch tonight and Mary Claire casually plopped down next to me.
“Here, I thought you might want to take this Christmas shopping with you”, she says. Mind you, it’s October and I’m not exactly known for being the early bird who catches a worm.
It was the super thick Toys R Us Christmas book that comes out every year. This is a highly-prized item in our house. The girls spend much time poring over every page.
“When did this come in the mail?” I asked, thumbing through.
“Oh, I saved it from last year. You know, so you could be prepared”.
As I looked through, I noticed virtually everything is circled.
“The circled things are what you guys want?”
“Yep. They are left over from last year’s lists. I combined my list and Elizabeth’s, then added what I thought Lydia would like”.
“You saved your lists from last year?”
“Yes”, she says, “I’m trying to make it all easier, you know the shopping part. I saved some of the wrapping paper and bags too.”
She’s seven. Can you imagine how well she is going to be managing her first company by the age of 12?
