A day at Sylvia park

    A day at Sylvia Park W.A.L.T write a recount about our weekend

who	what	when	were	why
Mum Brother Tajai	lunch and food shopping	Sunday	Sylvia park	lunch

Yesterday my mum ,brother and I went to Sylvia Park to have lunch and go food shopping. First we had lunch, I had butter chicken because the McDonald's line was too long.  My butter chicken  was so delicious.

After lunch my Mum decided that we were going to buy my summer uniform.  But then my mum saw clothes on sale - the whole store was 50% off.  My brother and I stayed outside because it was a girls store.  After about 10 minutes we  started to get irritated because my mum was taking so long.  At that point, my brother and I made a plan to get her out of the store.  He said to me you go in the store and act like you’re tired. I  said “Why can’t you?”. My brother said “because you're the little one in the family”.  
So I walked into the store and said “Mum can we go now, we still have to do food shopping and get my uniform”. Mum looked at me and said “Ok I will just pay for these clothes”. When I walked out of the store  I was so happy.  I went up to my brother  and said “Mission Complete”.Mum was out of the store.  

Then my Mum said,"I need to get my eyebrows done".  Of course my brother and I were moaning.  So I said “Can we go look around at stores and when you're finished doing whatever you are doing ring my phone”.  Mum agreed and so me and my brother went to look at clothing  stores.  

First we went to custom tees to look at Hats.  I wanted to buy a hat but they were 50.00.  After we went  to foot locker to look at  shoes to buy for my cousin as a birthday present but they didn't have the ones we were looking for in his size.

Later we went to JB-HIFI because my brother wanted a game. That game was called wwe2k15 it was on sale for 80.00.  I was begging my brother to buy the game so I could play it as well.  But he said “ I'm not buying just so you can play."  For a little I was mad, but for no reason because it wasn't my money to spend. Instead he got earphones so he could listen to music on the bus after school. When my Mum called she said “Going home now.  I said
“What about the shopping and my uniform?"
:They don’t have your uniform, I checked at the warehouse and  I'm too tired to go shopping," she replied

So really we did everything except food shopping which was most important.  RIght after that, I told my Mum that she would have to give me money for lunch the next day.
