"Go play and blend in while I find you something to wear."
Laura wants to object to being sent to play with a bunch of babies, but the hope for new clothes dissuades her. While Kaitlin sneaks over by the benches where parents have left their belongings, Laura climbs up and slides down some of the plastic animals that dot the area. Despite herself, she smiles and laughs as she does.
"Good job. No one would have thuthpected you were a grown up."
Laura nods in response, too embarrassed to tell her she wasn't pretending to enjoy herself. Kaitlin indicates for her to hold up her arms so Kaitlin can slide something on her. She does and has a shirt featuring the phrase "Little Stinker" lowered over her head. She glares at Kaitlin.
"Thorry all I could find in your thize. Now foot up."
Laura tries to follow the instruction but loses her balance and falls on her butt. Kaitlin laughs as she pulls a skirt up her legs and straps a pair of velcro shoes on her feet.
"There all thet. Come on let'th go back to the thore."
Laura climbs back to her feet just in time to see the security gate slid shut in front of the store.
"Oh no. We mutht have loth track of time. The mall ith clothing."
