After Christmas Sale
Greetings to everyone.
A few days ago, I took Xavier in to meet his new pediatrician. With Rebecca on an ADOS tour, our insurance changed and we had to find a new GP doctor for Xavier for the duration of Rebecca's tour.
The meeting with the pediatrician lasted less than fifteen minutes (it was just a meet-and-greet to establish care, after all), but long enough to discover Xavier had an ear infection.
With prescription in hand, Xavier and I headed for King Soopers to get his allotment of Amoxicillin.
Rather than sit in the chairs and wait, Xavier and I wandered the aisles. We came to the seasonal aisle and found all the Christmas items marked with impressive discounts. King's really wanted the space for Valentine's Day I suspect.
The shelves were still surprisingly full, but I did not find too much of interest (I was looking for deals on Christmas-themed wrapping paper).
Xavier, however, found something of interest! He called me over. When I saw what excited him, I flashed back to my own childhood to live Xavier's excitement all over again. Somehow, I knew we'd be walking out of the store with one (unless the price was too high).
I could not use price as an excuse. The box had a big red sticker on it stating 70% off. Even with such a large discount, it still cost twice as much as the Amoxicillin, but who could say "no" to such a $10 expenditure?
It took over an hour to build it, much of that time was applying the decals. Xavier is having a lot of fun with it. And, really, who wouldn't?
