Decent Essays
One day, I was at Costco with my dad. My dad is a tall man with male patterned baldness, He was wearing a blue polo shirt and khakis. As we shopped I saw a shiny new XBox 360. Being the age I was, 6 and a half I begged, and begged, and begged. Later, I slipped that XBox into the cart hoping that when dad noticed it would be in the car on the way home , but he noticed when I slipped it in and with a big sigh said “OK!”, we can get it. And that’s how I got a XBox 630.
