It was around Christmas one year and I went to Gottschalks with my mom to get a gift for Grandma. As we were shopping I decided I was starving and there was a hotdog on a stick store right outside the store. So mom got me one and we started to leave. We were walking thru Gottschalks again when I went down...HARD. Now before we left the house mom told me to change my shoes but I was wearing my Via Spiga heels and looked cute so I opted not to listen. Mom said watching me was like watching miss congeniality meets the scarecrow from the wizard of oz. She laughed so hard she cried! Right there in the middle of the store watching me rolling around on the floor my mother did not offer to help me but just stood there laughing! (I will have you all know I saved the corn dog!) I was certian I broke my toe in 4 places, sprained my ankle, broke my hip and still my mom couldn't stop laughing. Mom didn't find what she was looking for so we had to go to a different Gottschalks. So we get there and mom said "get out". I said"NO!" She said "Michelle Lynn get your ass out of this car right now! I mean mean it!" I wouldn't budge so she said "I will buy you 2 new pairs of shoes if you get out" (little known fact, I can be bought with shoes). So while mom went upstairs to get something for grandma I went to the shoe department to pick out my shoes. Mom bought them and told me to change them right now. Again, I looked cute and really what were the odds. Turns out they were VERY VERY good. On the way out I went down AGAIN! However this time I bounced right back up and hobble ran to the door. I think some lady asked if I was all right and I definatly heard my mother laughing but I didn't really want to hang out. We got back in the car and I was sure my mom was about to pee her pants. Tears were streaming down her face as she turned to me and said "there's one more Gottschalks in town! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!"
We did not go to the last Gottschalks.
