MOM! It has been eons

Can confirm, once I escaped, ran to a bookstore that was in the same mall, came back, and I'd read about 70 pages of my book when we finally left the clothing store.

life hack: a moment before xmas ask for undies... 1) she still gets to dress you, but 2) nobody can see it unless you let them and 3) you won't get undies as a stocking gift.
