She makes about $2 per day and decides to go Save Money by staying up all night and doing the Black Friday shopping thing in order to Wisely Spend her Christmas shopping money.
She ends up Saving Money on stuff that nobody needs or wants, the only thing that lasts out of her shopping experience is the Nasty Cold that she gets while shopping in the pre-dawn rain, and she winds up Cranky and Disgruntled.
But far be it from her to ever consider NOT shopping before dawn on Black Friday.
No, indeed!
There is a twisted sort of Heroism and Inflated Self Worth that envelopes my Black Friday Shopping Daughter. She has braved the weather and the crazies and has Survived. She has Saved Money. (It is totally irrelevant that she will only use her purchases one time before shoving them under the bed, in the closet, or on another poor soul who thinks they need It. It is also totally irrelevant that if her purchase is given as a gift, it is likely not really even wanted by the recipient.)
I love my Daughter and cherish every opportunity I have to be with her and make memories. But let it be known that there is a Line I will not Cross.
There is No Way I'm ever gonna do that Black Friday shopping thing.
You can write that down in your Little Black Book.
