I was just looking for socks

The weather is finally cooling off and suddenly it’s downright cold. I’m planning to take the girls up to Vermont for the weekend where it’ll be even colder, so after I got Pippa from school I took them over to Dick’s Sporting Goods to look for winter socks.

So I have the girls in tow and we walk in the door, but just after we passed through the security censors someone else went barreling out the door. Apparently he’d stockpiled a bunch of North Face jackets near the entrance door and waited for someone to come in so he could dash out with the jackets just before the door closed again. Then took off in a waiting car. I didn’t realize what was happening until the loss prevention people went running towards the door. All I saw was movement out of the corner or my eye. Pippa says he had white hair and keeps calling him a bandit. Police were called, one came, and I didn’t have to give a statement or anything. And I managed to find winter socks for the girls.
