The Two Richest Ladies

Okay we're just going to get right to it, you most likely have heard all about International Spend like a Millionaire but for those of you that haven't allow me to explain. Well to get this story going I can tell you that International Spend like a Millionaire Day is celebrated on October 11 witch just happens to land on my birthday, but lets get back on track shall we?
Next I will talk to you about how International Spend like a Millionaire got started. International Spend like a Millionaire Day got started in 1824 when the two richest ladies in the world scheduled a shopping spree for just the two of them on October 11, 1824. That day they planned to take at least 1/2 of their husbands pay for 1 month and blow it all on jewels, diamonds, purses, and of course, clothing. You see that this tradition carried on for the next 11 years but what the 2 ladies didn't know was that both of their husbands had created of their own tradition and went out and bought guns and other manly items together.
So then on October 11 of 1835 each couple received a letter that stated that they were each in debt. Back then being in debt was an extremely serious deal so they all went to prison thinking hard on what could had forced them to be in debt. Once their neighbors got word they all be gain to mock the two couples traditions but spent roughly 1/6 of what the actual couples did. Any way seance then the tradition just simply carried on.
Now we celebrate International Spend like a Millionaire Day by going to our nearest malls and some people don't even glance at the price tags! I celebrate my International Spend like a Millionaire Day by going to Jordan Creek Mall, picking up and almost rudely tossing every item that catches my eyes to my mom. I do this because she's the luck one that gets the shiny, rectangular, silver, and almost magical, credit-card!

Out of the stores that we visit they all had obnoxious and noise making cash registers that made a loud but crisp "Cha-Chinggg!" sound every time a store clerk were to open the loud thing! The stores also had the sent of card board boxes witch, most likely, the beautiful clothing and other things were delivered in.When I get new things I feel glad and proud to have such great parents to allow it.
Other human celebrate this Holiday by paying extra close attention to each and every price tag and buy only the most expensive things so that they are able to brag to their so called 'friends'. So tell me, how do you spend you're International Spend like a Millionaire Day?
