Couldn't help but notice...

Eight hours: time spent shopping with Kat for stuff she'll need when she moves out to live on her own and go to school: coordinating bedding, fun wall mirrors, smelly candles and other trinkets, patterned storage bins, color coordinated bathroom accessories, etc.


Twelve minutes: time spent shopping with Aleks for stuff he'll need when he moves out to live on his own and go to school: Two plain towels, a laundry hamper, shampoo, body wash, a toothbrush and toothpaste. (And that was about eight minutes more than he wanted to spend... his main interest was in selecting the right combination of manly toiletry smells!)
