A special event, indeed

I saw a young boy with a yellow hat on, the kind of hat worn by actor Bob Denver as the lead role in the TV show “Gilligan’s Island.” The boy was looking at underwear or some other item of clothing while the hat sat atop his little head. I saw two young girls who eyed a sparkly, red dress. I saw a boy trying on a pair of shoes with the concentration a man of my age has when looking at new tires for his car. One young boy was excited about some socks. Another was thrilled at a T-shirt in camo pattern. Another girl giggled as she picked out not one, but two pair of leggings that matched a new shirt.
