Shopping

 Christmas is around the corner and shopping can be stressful - for me. Somehow hardly anyone agrees with my taste except myself. Not even my children. I have stopped buying the children's clothes since 3 to 4 years ago. The last incident was Lucas asked for quick dry T-shirt for sports. How hard can that be right? So, I went to Adidas and bought a white color quick dry T-shirt. It can't be that off. I was so wronged. He said it is too long and asked my to return it! Since that day, I said do your own shopping. They are both pro at online shopping by now. Lucas buys from don't know which websites and had to pay custom duty twice. He has learned his lesson not to buy from outside Europe. Chloe loves to buy second hand clothes. She has no qualm on wearing god knows who or what was done to the clothes previously. She even sells her undesirable clothes online. 

Recently I asked them for gifts ideas.

Me: I think consumables are better. You use it and that's it. No need storage space. Shampoos or shower gel are good.

Chloe: No one gift shampoo!

Me: Why not? I do.

Lucas: You are telling them they stink?

Me: No, perfume is a very popular gift.

Lucas: True, but don't give deodorant. It is an insult.
