Life With DenisDaily

Moving?! Part 2/4

All those weeks passed in a blur with trips to the bank, packing our things and whining from Bella.

It was especially awful when we went to the shopping centre to spruce up our house because we were putting it up for sale.

"But I wanna go see the vending machines!"

"Why can't we go now?!"

"Please I WANNA GO NOW!!!"

In all of the commotion going on, I saw my favourite YouTuber, DenisDaily.

I whipped around and there he his looking back at me. When he saw me looking, he turned around quickly and walked a little faster. A breathed out a sigh of relief. It's not easy to act cool in front of your favourite YouTuber when your little sister is screaming like her butt is on fire but at least he didn't SAY anything.

Which makes me feel a lot better 😃

After trapsing around shops for hours on end we finally got the stuff we needed and got out of there. We walked down to the bus stop and there Bella reached the peak of her tantrum. She just let it all loose.

It was total pandemonium.

And total embarrassment!

She started screaming and shouting and clawing at me and Mum, even some passer-bys. Thankfully, they understood and smiled at us. Then, tragedy struck when Bella knocked mum's purse clean out of her hand and out of sight.

There was a dreadful silence.

Mum turned her head to Bella, who was grinning sheepishly. Then an idea struck Bella.

She took off her shoes  and started dancing around the street singing, "Who wants to buy my shoes?"

A few people laughed, a few people turned their heads in our direction. But Bella was having none of it. "Oh come on people, half price!"

A desperate mother gingerly raises her hand. "How much?"

For once Bella stays there quiet. But then she persists jumping about and telling the lady, "It's 2 cents!"

Mum rushes in saying, "Three dollars." The lady's face brightens up and her eyes rim with tears. "Oh thank you, so much!" She gives us 5 dollars and dashes down the street with a skip in her step. 

"Here mummy look three whole dollars! You don't need that stupid purse anymore don't you?" asks Bella hopefully. " I am proud of you, really I am, but I'm afraid three measly dollars isn't going to make up for your  mistake." Mum tells her clearly stressed out. Bella lowers the money her face drooping.

"Find the purse, or no vending machine." Mum says sternly. 

Well, that's enough to send Bella dashing down the street searching left right and centre for the purse. "I'd better go help her." I say quickly to mum and trace Bella's footsteps. I turn around and catch sight of Denis again. He's obviously having a day out since I don't regularly see him around here. He turn in my direction and I can see him in full view now. He smiled at me.

Bella comes running back and starts screaming, "I've got the purse, I've got the purse!" I smile, really grateful because I knew mum wouldn't let us go home if we didn't find it. Mum rushes over kissing us both. "Thank you both!" We grimace as she hugs us. "You girls can split the three dollars and buy yourself something nice." Mum goes on grinning. "I needed my purse or we wouldn't have been moving."

Bella and I dash all over the shopping centre buying nothing, until I come across some shoes Bella was saving up for. It was half price anyway. Bella wanders into a shop and spots a charm in the shape of a tennis racquet. It was so pretty! She handed it to me and smiled, "Thank you for getting me new shoes. This is for you."

Bella may sometimes be annoying, but you gotta love her!
