Look what Kekoa found in Trader Joe's today...the black cat. At our local Trader Joe's there is a "wanted" poster with a picture of this black cat. If it is found, there is a special prize. I have seen kids running around inside TJ's, frantically searching for the cat. I actually didn't think it really existed. I was going to pick up a cantaloup and I heard Kekoa say "mao mi" (cat). I looked over and there it was, laying down with the bags of grapefruit. We were both so excited. He got to hold it while I finished shopping. He kept saying, "I found a cat", over and over again. He actually said "cat", instead of "mao mi", it's like he knew that the people in TJ's didn't speak Chinese. I was SUPER impressed he was saying "I" instead of "ke ke found a cat", it is one of the first times he has done this...referring to himself as "I".
The employees in TJ would walk by and see Kekoa with the cat and make a huge deal about it. He was so proud of himself.
I was afraid he wouldn't want to give the cat back, but he actually handed it to the manager and then picked out his prize from the treasure chest. He chose a little black gorilla.
I'm sure Kekoa will now look for the black cat whenever we go to TJ's! What a fun way to make grocery shopping that much more exciting! :)
