Cubis Monkey’s excitement was impossible to miss the moment Dad mentioned the word shopping. Her little eyes lit up, her tail swished back and forth, and she clapped her hands as if she had been waiting for this all week. For her, going shopping wasn’t just about errands—it was an adventure, a chance to explore the world outside and spend special time with Dad.
As soon as they arrived at the store, Cubis hopped out of the car with a bounce in her step. She eagerly grabbed Dad’s hand and pulled him toward the entrance, almost as if she already had a list in her head. The bright lights and colorful displays were like a playground to her. She squealed at the fruit section, reaching out to point at shiny apples and bananas, clearly hoping some would make it into their cart.
Dad chuckled at her enthusiasm, letting her pick out a few things. Cubis proudly placed them in the cart, standing tall as if she was the official shopping assistant. Every aisle was a new discovery—she giggled at the cereal boxes with funny mascots, tilted her head curiously at the rows of sparkling drinks, and clapped with joy when she spotted a shelf stacked with her favorite snacks.
But the best part wasn’t the groceries. It was the moments in between—the way Dad lifted her up to see the top shelves, how they shared laughs over silly items, and how Cubis leaned against him when she felt tired, comforted by the closeness.
At the checkout, Cubis waved happily at the cashier, proudly helping Dad place items on the counter. She beamed when the cashier smiled back and gave her a sticker, as if she had just won a prize.
By the time they headed home, Cubis was still chattering about her favorite finds. Shopping may have been a small errand for Dad, but for Cubis, it was a big, joyful memory—proof that the simplest trips become the best adventures when shared with someone you love.
