FINALLY caught up with ya! Sheesh - already 25 pages again!
Like the mirror notes - very cool!
Also, I can understand how frustrated your W must have been after the Target episode - where she 'punished' herself by not agreeing to go to another store for them. She probably felt guilty for getting into it with S, so perhaps she didn't feel like she deserved to get what she really wanted (the boxes). I can relate to this type of behavior because I've done it myself. As smartcookie put it - yep, juvenile.
With a child, you wouldn't give in to their tantrums and let 'em have their way, but maybe with your W.....Know that the boxes are something she really wants and would make her happy.
JMO.
