On a recent trip to Target with a certain angelic-faced grandgirl, we were passing the *princess* aisle. I had no intention of going down that particular aisle until I heard these words: "Granny, can we go down the *princess* aisle? Pleeeeeeeeze Granny!" Of course, we went down the aisle. Then it happened again: "Can we get some doll furniture for your doll house? Pleeeeeeeeeeeze Granny!" Our doll house now has a nice new bedroom set. Well, after all, Hero and I have been looking for doll house furniture.
Now, if I can just get past the Crayola craft aisle, I can come away from this trip without any more damage. Too late: "Can we go down the craft aisle? Pleeeeeeeze Granny!" Then, "Granny, I just HAVE to have something princess. Pleeeeeeze Granny!" Fortunately, I was able to sway her from wanting a MEGA princess bead set for older children because I truly love my daughter-in-law. So we settled on a princess wipe-off book where she can practice her letters and numbers. After all, it is educational.
I know, I'm putty in the hands of my grandchildren. When they look at you with those imploring eyes in all their preciousness, the Granny can't help it!
