my purple publix balloon...

i love it when mommy does the grocery shopping at publix because it's where "shopping is a pleasure." for me, this is because they give me a free balloon. most recently i have received purple balloons at the publix & i have kept them until they are pretty pitiful looking & almost deflated. well, today my almost-deflated-purple-publix-balloon popped!! i was SOOO upset! so on her way home from work, mommy stopped by publix & asked for a balloon, even though i was not with her! actually this balloon is not the *publix* balloon because they were out of those, but a special friend made sure that i still got a *purple* balloon -- as far as balloons are concerned to me, purple is definitely the best!
