They'll Fit

Shopping in an Asian country is always a challenge for a big girl like me. I have been called "Fat Fat" as in "you no shop here, you fat-fat" to a girl taking a shirt out of my hand and telling me it's too small for big girl. I should hope it was too small, it was for Middle Child. lol But today, I took off shopping with Karate Kid in tow and was very much looking forward to it. After all, I was going to a camping store to buy a tent. Before you get the idea that in any way I am a camping kind of girl, I most certainly am not. But buying the tent means the boys are off to the wilderness for the weekend.
While there, I remember that Navy Seal has outgrown his sandals and since this store happens to have a US 11 (believe me they are hard to come by), I grab them.
Now, let us try to check out. Girl: Did you try on? Me: No, they r for N.S. Girl: Too big (and sets them behind counter) Me: Not for this son, son at home (thinking she must be looking at KK) I want them.. Who at this point is thinking, if I want them and am willing to pay for them, she should let it go? Girl: Big shoe Me: Yes, he is a big child. Girl: Not child size, man (still won't give them back) Me: Yes, he is tall, may I please have the shoes? Girl: No, too big Me: It's OK, I'll buy them. After she consults with the shop owner, another clerk, and the stock boy (all in Chinese), she Finally agrees I may buy them, but No Returns.
Not a problem. They'll fit. :)
