When I was a little girl, my aunt was my caretaker while my mom worked. She watched me form the time I was 6 weeks old until I started Kindergarten. We would often take trips to K-mart to browse the aisles. My aunt would always buy me a soft pretzel and we would share a coke.
She's the best!!!
So one day we went to K-mart (I think it was K-mart) with my Uncle Red. My Uncle Red would always wear cowboys boots and jeans. I used to "ride" his boot while he walked. It was way super fun. You know how kids do??? They sit on your foot, holding onto your leg while you walk. So as we're walking the aisles, along comes this cowboy boot and jeans right next to me. I see it and jump on for a ride! I'm holding on tight when I hear my aunt say "Cory??". I peek past the leg I'm clinging onto to see my aunt, standing about 10 feet away from me.... pointing to my Uncle Red who is standing right next to her! This doesn't make any sense to me at 3 years old, since I'm sitting on my Uncle Red's foot. So I tilt my head upwards to see a man, that I've never seen before looking down at me. He waves and says "Well... hello there" I jump off his foot and run to my aunt and bury my face into her leg. I will NEVER forget that.
I think my aunt and uncle nearly peed themselves from laughing so hard.
