When we walked through the Wal-Mart, Emilie’s head was looking in every direction. She asked for everything under the sun, and I had to remind her that we had little time, not to mention, not a lot of space for a ton of purchases.

Back in the electronics section there was every laptop available and since I lacked any techy know-how, I had no idea which was the best one to get for Emilie. She repeated ‘Roblox’ then ‘Robux’. Roblox, I knew was the program, but had to ask what Robux was and Emilie explained, in full detail, that it was used to get new clothes, accessories, and gear for their avatar, as well as special abilities, bonus in-game content, and access to certain user-created games.

It was hard to concentrate on what the employee was telling me when she was continuously asking for Robux, Jurassic World and Minions. I grabbed the dinosaur movie, well the entire series since I didn’t remember which one she asked for specifically. I juggled the laptop box and the movies in my hands on the way to the cash register wrap. When I thought of all the stuff I was buying for Emilie, I wondered if these were things my sons would have loved, but who knew what their interests were.

For a child I couldn’t get two words from her most of the time, she certainly had diarrhea of the mouth right now and I was certain it was from the exorbitant amount of sugar in her system. “Jessen, I gotta pee.” She whined while squeezing her legs together.

I smiled at the employee, “Sorry about that.” I kneeled to her level and asked, “Didn’t you just go to the bathroom at the restaurant?”

“Yes!” She cried. “But I gotta go again.”

Arching a brow, I smirked, “Do you really?”

Emilie shook her head, “No.” She answered, sticking a finger in her mouth. “I’m just bored.”

I rolled my eyes and went back to the laptop shopping. “I’m doing this for you, so you need to be patient.”

We settled for the Apple MacAir. Dude said it was the best, and I wanted Emilie to have the best, with the hopes she’d use it for more than a game. “Let’s go!” I said, assuming Emilie was still at my side. I grabbed the movies she wanted and the Robux and headed to the cash register, only to discover Emilie wasn’t beside me. “Emilie?” I called out, running down every aisle in the electronics department. “Here let me pay for this stuff and grab it. I need to find my daughter, or her mother will kill me for losing her again.” It seemed like an appropriate lie at the time, and it wasn’t like this young kid cared, anyway.

I grabbed the plastic bag from the roundabout and ran across the store, checking every aisle I sensed an eight-year-girl would go to. After running around like a chicken with its head cut off, I finally spotted her and rushed up to her, angry, yet afraid.
