A little girl walked into my store (1031 North State Street Suite 110) with her dad the other day. Apparently she had spilled something on her shirt and they saw the rack of t-shirts outside my store priced 2 for $5 and just had to find a replacement. Her dad found a tee for himself and a couple for his daughter and I couldn't help but think back to a simpler time when I was 10 years old.
Unlike many who walk by and comment. This little girl didn't care if the tees were second hand. She didn't care that my store was a "Men's" store. She didn't care who saw her hanging with her old man. She was just happy to be spending time with her dad and that he took the time to take her to the store and buy her some new tees. She was so happy with her tees. You could see the joy in her face.
Unfortunately, this 10-year old will soon be a teenager and all that will likely change. She won't wanna hang with her dad anymore. Her friends will convince her that buying second hand is not "cool". She'll likely only buy high end brands that will cost her dad an arm and a leg.
All you parents of pre-teens should be thankful for those times you get to spend with your kids before those teenage tendencies kick in. And if you wanna stop by Mens Choice for some tees, they're 2 for $5. ...:)
