My New Friend
I met a very interesting person yesterday. I had to go to Walmart to pick up some stuff and develop some pictures, and as my mom was looking at exercise shorts I noticed a Fantastic 4 stretching arm laying on one of the clothing racks. Being the easily entertained person that I am I thought this was great fun, so naturally I tried to see what sort of things I could pick up with it! As I was unsuccessfully trying to pick my purse up off the floor I heard a little voice say, "whats that?". Looking up I saw a little girl, probably about 6 years old, staring at the blue plastic arm in my hand."This is a stretching arm like the one in the movie Fantastic 4! You use it to pick up stuff far way. Do you want to try?" I asked.
She just grinned and took the arm from me trying (also unsuccessfully) to pick up my purse. At this point my mom turns around and says: "I would use that arm for tickling!" She took the arm from the girl and pretended to tickle her with it. The girl had a piercing laugh and ran off a little ways, but not for long. Next thing I know she has picked up the arm and after yelling, "I'm going to tickle you", starts chasing me around the clothing section. I ran around in circles around the racks and yelled back, You'll never catch me!! I got half way around one rack and realized that she had changed directions and was coming straight at me! This went on for a little while until she gave up on the arm and moved onto just "I'm going to get you!" After a while her mom came looking for her and she went off obediently but I couldn't help but laugh at how bold she was. Most kids hide behind their mom's when you talk to them. I can only imagine what she is going to be like when she grows up...
