-  It happened one day when we went out shopping. While her mother and I took turns

                       trying clothes on, she was sitting quietly on the bench. Then she looked at me and
                       her mother and started to express her opinions on our clothes.

                   -  The way she talked was so funny that we couldn’t stop laughing. She was so used
                       to playing with her Barbie doll that she suggested  we should dress like one of her
                       dolls.  She even taught us how to walk like models because she thought that was
                       pretty.

                   -  All  the  customers  who  walked  in  the  store  noticed  her,  even  the  store  owner

                       couldn’t stop laughing at her since she was  still a baby girl, but she talked and
                       acted like a grown-up woman.

                   -  That was probably the best part of the shopping trip that I will never forget.
