- 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.
