The time I spent with grandma at the downtown store
I remember when I was just a little one.. and Grandma had a store downtown and my mom would go help her out. Well Grandma and my mom were busy with customers and I wasn't getting any attention so I got the scissors and cut one of my ponytails off .. OHHH was Grandmas and my Mom mad at me.. yeah I got my hair cut very short.
I also remember I would always tell grandma that I was her Nurse/doctor. Because when I would go to the store with my mom and the store wasn't as busy grandma would go to the back room to rest and I would go with her and I would put little towels on her forehead and pretend I was her doctor taking care of her. And when she had scraps of material we would sew pillows for the bed she had in the back room.
We would also watch The Price is Right while we waited for customers to come to the store.. Yeah I was not in school yet. So the store was my daycare or play area since my mom would go help grandma. And grandma would always put aside material that was pink and purple because I loved those colors when I was younger. I also remember playing like i was a model in the front windows of the store and watching the car pass by.
Then I stop going to the store because I started going to school and then Grandma didn't lease the store anymore. But I had many memories in that Store "La Mexicana" <3
