Lets take a walk into town and do some window-shopping.Connor: You know I hate shopping more than anything else in the world.A: I know. But we could get some exercise in, and we could get some errands run, too. Window-shopping wont cost you anything.C: What kind of errands do we need to run?A: Well, we could go to the newsagents to pick up the Sunday paper, go to the butchers to pick up a chicken for a roast dinner, and to the chemists to pick up your prescription from the doctor.C: Ill only go if we can stop at the off-license to pick up something to drink for tonight.A: Fine, well do that on the way home, so we dont have to carry it the whole time.C: Sounds good. You have to promise not to go into any of the stores in the mall though. I know how you like to try things on in the fitting rooms, especially if the stores have special offers.A: I promise.
