Tara was checking her list again as she went over the things that she and the Triplets still needed for the upcoming school year. Around her feet were bags of clothes, school supplies and some last minute, specialty art supplies that she thought would be useful for her students. As Tara went over her list, she realized that she still needed to buy new shoes for the boys and some sturdy winter jackets as well. She rubbed her forehead and sighed a little exasperated. She had been hoping to get all this shopping done in one go. Neither she or the boys enjoyed shopping and the Triplets had started acting up in the last clothing shop that they had visited. Tara sighed once more, she had a feeling that they would never be going into THAT store again.
While their aunt looked over her list; Harris, Hamish and Hubert were playing in the fountain that occupied the center of the mall. They had been picking pennies out of the fountain and were flicking them at the statue in the middle. They had made a game out of it; 5 points if you hit the statue, 10 if you hit the face and 20 if you hit the guy's crotch but you had stand in the middle of the mall posing like the statue for 5 minutes in order to claim your points. Otherwise, you only received a -20 points. So far Hubert was winning with Harris and Hamish neck and neck for second.
"Boys, stop playing in the fountain and help me with these bags." Their Aunt Tara said. Simultaneously, three little heads dropped into their hands as the three boys groaned. They really hated shopping. Nevertheless, each of them grabbed to bags and started lugging them after their aunt. They still felt bad about what happened in the store.
"How much more shopping do we have to do?" whined Hamish.
"Can we please get something to eat? I'm starving." whined Harris.
"Where are we going now aunt Tara?" Asked Hubert.
"I know it's been a long day but we don't have a lot of shopping left boys. But right now we are going to the food court. I thought we could all use a little break." Tara said giving her nephews a smile. She was greeted with three very happy faces but she wasn't sure if it was at the prospect of food or the idea that they were almost done shopping.
Once they reached the food court, they all claimed a table and set all the bags down by it. Then Tara took the three of them to the bathroom to wash their hands. When they came back and had decide what they all wanted to eat, Tara left them at the table with strict instructions not to move from this spot. The Triplets promised Tara that they would do what she asked and Tara left them to go get the food. Happy now that they were about to eat, the Triplets looked around the food court. There were a lot of people here.
