Today my mom, Harry and I are going to shop for clothes for Harry.

Harry and I are eating breakfast. We argued what store to go to as my mom walks into the kitchen.

"Be ready in 20 minutes, then we are leaving." She smiles at us then walked back upstairs.

"So that settles it, we are going to target." I say and place my bowl in the sink.

"Uh uh, we are going to Walmart." Harry complains.

"Walmart is so crummy, it has horrible clothes." I remind him.

"Ugh fine, only because I like you." he smiles.

"What?" I ask him.

"N-nothing." he stutters.

"I am going to go get ready now." He says and goes upstairs. What was that all about? I shrug it off and follow him up the stairs.

Hmmm, what should I wear today. After 5 minutes I pick out blue skinny jeans and a blue top with a unicorn on it. Yes, I am obsessed with unicorns. After I put that on I brush my hair and quickly straighten it. I put a blue bow on the side of my head and grab my jacket. I slip on my blue converse and wait for my mom and Harry to come.

When Harry comes down the stairs he is wearing the same clothes from yesterday, obviously because he has none. We wait for my mom and she finally comes. We leave and get in my moms SUV.

"So we're are we going?" My mom asks us.

"Target." we answer at the same time. My mom chuckles but Harry and I just look at the ground.

"Okay, target it is then." She laughs.

The rest of the car ride is silent. It's not comfortable silence but not really awkward silence. It's in the middle. After only 10 minutes my mom pulls into the plaza which target is in. She parks the car and we all get out. We enter the store and grab a cart.

"So you guys go get clothes for Harry and I will be in the woman's section. Just text me when your are done and remember to take you time." My mom tells us. We nod and make our separate ways. I've never shopped for a boy so this is going to be interesting.

"How about this shirt?" I say pointing to a black shirt with a happy face on it.

"No way, I do not want to look retarted." He says.

I huff and put the shirt back. He picks out a striped blue one and puts it in the cart. I roll my eyes but he doesn't see. Next he picks out 4 pairs of jeans and 5 shirts. 3 of them are plain colours and 2 of them have cool designs on them. We are starving so we head to Mc Donald's.

"What do you want?" I ask Harry.

"A happy meal." he says in a 'duh' tone.

"Me too." I high five him and we both start laughing.

"Come on, move up!" some guy be hide us yells. We notice that we are next in line and I am so embarrassed. I have $15 in my pocket so I hope that's enough.

"I will just pay for both of us." I tell Harry.

"But-"

"You know you are not going to win this conversation with me. I am paying and that's final." I turn back to the register and order 2 happy meals.

The lady hands Harry and I the boxes and we go find a seat. We pick a both and sit down.

"What toy did you get?" Harry asks me.

"Umm... let me check." I reach into the small box and pull our Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

"I got Dorothy." I look over to Harry's toy.

"I got the scarecrow." he shows it to me and I scream. Everyone in the place looks and my like I am crazy.

"What's wrong?" Harry asks worriedly.

"Well you showed me a scarecrow so wasn't I supposed to be scared?" I laugh and Harry joins me.

"That was the worst joke ever." Harry says after we are done laughing.

"I know." I smile.

"Is there anything else you need?" I ask him.

"Well I need a tooth brush and deodorant, that's about it." he says.

"Okay we'll when we are done getting those things I will text my mom and tell her to meet us at the cash register." Harry nods and we get up from the seat and throw out our garbage.

We go to the area where they sell deodorant and we pass by the bras. I smirk and turn toward Harry.

"No no no, I am not doing any crazy idea that you have." he backs away from the cart.

"You don't even know what I am going to do." I whine.

"Fine." he sighs.

I take one of the bras off the hanger and put it on my head.

"Look, I have a hat!" I scream at Harry. His eyes widen and I burst into laugh and literally start riling on the floor. My laughter dies down and I notice that Harry has all his stuff.

"How did you get that already?" I ask him.

"While you were having a laughingfit I walked over there and grabbed it." he points to where he got the things.

"Oh." I fell my blood rushing to my cheeks.

Suddenly a guy with a target uniform comes up to us.

"Ma'am, please get off the ground." he looks at me.

"Sorry." I say and stand up. Harry and I walk away to go meet my mom.

"I texted her, she should be here soon." I tell Harry. He nods and we wait at the cash register.

My mom finally comes and we pay for all the clothes and others things.

As we are walking out the door of target Harry's skin turns pale.

"Dad?" he chokes.
