ella: hi. my name is ella. and this is my little sister phoebe. uh, excuse me for a sec. psst...phoebe! you're suppose to look at the camera. don't you know that by now? sorry. anyway, as I was saying, we are here at New Frontiers, a natural marketplace, doing a little grocery shopping for my mom. she had a few special items she wanted us to pick up for her.
phoebe: yep. she doesn't like getting groceries. gives her a headache, or something.
ella: yes, phoebe, that's right. so they make these small carts especially for that reason...the moms can send their kids to the store to do their grocery shopping for them.
phoebe: hey check this out, ella! you can put your foot up on the cart like this!
ella: how cool is that? let me give it a whirl! wouldn't it be fun to race this thing up and down the aisles? I bet that's what dad does when he goes grocery shopping. oh well, we better concentrate on getting the goods. check out this produce. I wonder if mom would like these weird looking things?
phoebe: I don't know...but I am seeing a lot of weird looking people.
ella: shhh...not so loud, phoebe! you're right, though. this is where all the granola people hang out.
phoebe: oh yeah, that's right. she said she really loves granola.
ella: that's not what I meant...oh never mind! you wouldn't understand anyway.
ella: ugh. grocery shopping is over-rated. I really hope we got everything she wanted.
phoebe: let's hope so! that was a lot of money for that tiny bag of stuff!
ella: no kidding! that's why she usually goes to safeway.
phoebe: phew! grocery shopping is hard work! I really deserve this chocolate bar. at least that's what my mom says when she's in the checkout lane.
ella: oh no, that just reminded me...we forgot the diet coke! but it's not organic so they probably don't sell it here. she'll just have to survive without it.
(hee hee.)
