Dear Jack,

One of the most American things you can do these days is to order online whatever you can imagine… to be shipped from China.

A few days after we got back from Christmas in Alabama, we decided that a logical family event would be to drive to Opry Mills Mall to possibly spend some of our Christmas gift money.

As we walked out of the doors of the Gap Outlet, you were immediately drawn to one of those vendors in the middle of the walkway. The guy was selling these hilarious and ridiculous house slippers that looked like Nike sneakers.

I stopped you: “No! Don’t go over there! It’s going to be some sort of rip-off. It will probably be like $50 for one pair but then you get the 2nd pair half off.”

Mommy seconded my motion: “Jack, you can look those up online when we get home. I’m sure you can find them a lot cheaper.”

And you did… for less than 10 bucks!

Love,

Daddy
