Mother and Daughter Shopping

Last night, Katie and I decided to go shopping for bridal shower invitations. We left fairly late in the evening and knew we had to hurry if we needed to go to more than one store. So, we went to Michael's (it may have been Robert's -- they're all the same to me). It was practically next door to a Ross, so we decided to stop in to see if there might be a dress that I could wear to Dan and Rachael's wedding. I had absolutely no intention of purchasing anything. So much for good intentions!!!! Here's our conversation (slightly paraphrased):

Me: I like this. I think it's cute.

Katie: I have one a lot like that. I lovey love it. You should buy it.

Me: No. I really don't need any more clothes (as I consider putting it back on the rack).

Katie: Really, Mom. You should get it.

Me: No, I shouldn't. I have wedding expenses coming up.

Katie: I love mine. You should really get it. You can wear it with .....

Me: (hesitating -- agonizing -- grabbing more things that might go with it)

Katie: Jonas, you should get it............ then I can borrow it!

Now, how can I resist such advice?? I walked out of the store with two pair of shoes, two skirts and a top.
