Things looking up?

• "Yeah, this may be a new photo angle for you, but it's pretty much more of the same for me, Mom, just having to look right up your nose."
• "Shoes? Really, Mom? Shoes? You got me all excited by talking up our shopping trip today, and it's shoes? And I've got nothing here that says 'Playskool" or "Fisher Price" or "Mattle" or "Little Tykes" or "Legos" or "XBox"? Really? Just shoes?"
• "Yeah, I just heard the announcement over the store speakers, too - 'Clean-up on aisle 14.' Sorry about that. My bad."
