August 19, 2014 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter 

Today, I have a teenager.  Her birthday wish is the same as the last two years - spend the whole day alone with me at the mall.  You know how I feel about this.  Exactly one year ago, I somehow got locked into the changing room at Justice when she went to get a different size. First, I felt the sweat.  Then, I felt myself hyperventilating and heard myself yell. "Come quick, Cady! I'm stuck in here! Help!"  After proclaiming her utter embarrassment, she did rescue me but insisted the door wasn't locked. I don't know - two sides to every story. The good news is, I think the incident got Justice taken off today's 10am-4pm (30 minute-intervalled) itinerary of each store and food/dessert stop.  She probably thinks they'll remember me at Justice.  Or maybe Justice isn't cool once you hit teenager status?  Either way, it's one less stop.  I know, I know...I can hear you out there saying, "My teenager doesn't want to hang with me.  Enjoy it! She'll be in college before you know it!" 

 

I'm sure I will rise to the occasion.  I remember being a teenager working at the mall at Thom McCann Shoe Store across from Spencers.  Ringing a bell for anyone?  I'll try to put myself in her "shoes" and be giddy about each store and moment. But, this time, I'll wait OUTSIDE the changing rooms!

Blue skies, Donna
