Who: Anders Johnson and OPEN Where: Toy Store What: Anders trying to figure out a gift for his niece When: Saturday Dec 14 Rating: Low
Anders never thought it would come to this. Sure, his brother Mike back home had been trying for a long time to have kids, but Anders had always assumed once Mike did have a child he would cut Anders out of his life completely citing he was a 'bad influence' or something like that. Now, with Ty having a little girl, Anders found himself an uncle. He didn't mind being an uncle, not that he'd say that out loud. He was only just starting to learn how to hold the child in a way that wasn't 'how she was handed to me' and he was happy to hand Lizbet back over to Ty or Jane when she pooped or started to cry. With Christmas approaching, though, he realized he was expected to bring her a gift.
Cue Anders standing in a toy store looking hopelessly lost. Thankfully the store seemed to be organized in a way that he was pretty sure he found the baby section. The problem was there were so many toys. Ty said something bright and plastic, but everything was bright and plastic. Well, there were some things by a company called 'Melissa and Doug' that were wooden, but they were bright too. He picked up a Toy block and pressed a button. A loud, overly happy voice said 'Purple!'. He frowned and turned the thing around. Was this any good? Anders put the toy down and picked up what he was pretty sure was a sheep and pressed that. The voice said "Four!"
"Do they all use the same voice lady??" He placed the toy down and exhaled as he looked at everything, unable to figure out what to choose.
