First Grumpy Hat

It was December 24th and everyone decided it would be fun to go down to the newly built City Center. As we went to leave the car was stuck in the snow. I went to the barn put on my old barn boots and got a shovel to shovel out the car. Everyone else was inside keeping warm. Well I finally got the car out and we all loaded into the station wagon to go to the big city. It wasn't until we were about to park in the City Center's garage that it dawned on me that I was still wearing my barn boots. These boots had been around for a while and had cleaned out a lot of dirty horse stalls, so to say they had a bit of a aroma is an understatement. No big deal I'll just buy me a pair of shoes in one of the stores as soon as we get in there. City Center was brand new and the stores were a little on the pricey side and I am a lot on the cheap side. The first store we looked at the shoes were all around the $200 mark and that wasn't going to happen. By the way these boots were insulated so that as I walked around the mall that was a 100 degrees my own body heat was making the aroma even more pleasant. So after an entire afternoon of me moaning and groaning about my intoxicating smell and why anyone would even want to shop on Christmas Eve, Chandra came out of the Disney Store with my first Grumpy hat which I proudly wore from that day forward.
