Going To A Dubai Shopping Mall As A Kid Back In School Vs. Now As An Adult #FACTS<\/em><\/p>\n

The mall used to be all the rage back in the days… and now it’s just TORTURE. Yes, adulting will do that to you.<\/p>\n

MALL. MOOD. ALL. DAY. ERRA. DAY.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. As a kid you rolled to the mall with your main crew in your mom’s SUV! Carpooool time FTWWWWW<\/h2>\n

Thas why smart parents always had their seats protected with\u00a0Waterproof Car Seat Cover<\/a>s when they pulled up to pick you and your squad up from school.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As an adult, you have to drive knowing traffic near, around, and in the mall parking lot is always gridlocked<\/h2>\n

How is there ALWAYS traffic on the way to a mall? HOWWWW? What is this sorcery?! In such testing times at least those adults with their Wireless Car Chargers<\/a> still manage to keep their cool.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. The skatepark at Dubai Festival City was the go-to place to meet cute boys and girls or go on your date!<\/h2>\n

You can still swoon bae by showing off a few tricks on this hip skateboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now as an adult you run as far away as possible from carnivals or skateparks and spend all your time inside Sephora\/Carrefour.<\/h2>\n

And now that you’re a responsible adult you always carry a Reusable Shopping Bag<\/a> with you!!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. As a kid, you lived for those free samples that they keep giving at mall activations<\/h2>\n

Urm if you’re still at that phase, remember to sanitize your hands<\/a> after taking anything from anyone during this COVID-period.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As an adult, you crave those 2 mins of free time to stand there idle and get that free nail buffing sample<\/h2>\n

Honey, let me tell you though, you ain’t missing anything much! Have yourself a chill day at home and buff your own nails with this Profesh\u00a0Manicure & Pedicure Set<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. As a kid, the mall was the ULTIMATE hangout spot.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Back then it was a cute Fanny Pack<\/a> with your allowance-filled wallet… gum… a hairband and you were good to go.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As an adult, your objective is to get in and get out as quickly as possible.<\/h2>\n

Now it’s a Compartmentalized Bag<\/a> with your whole life inside of it every time you go to a mall… keys, cards, glasses, receipts, loyalty cards, extra patience (for when you run out of it explaining what you need to a salesperson).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Charleys Philly Steaks, Burger King, Subway?\u00a0As a kid the food court issa neverending buffet of choices.<\/h2>\n

Give making homemade pizza a try with this\u00a0Saachi Pizza Maker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As an adult, you scrounge for whatever healthy stuff there is and run.<\/h2>\n

Also with that FAB AirFryer at home<\/a>, outside oily and greasy food just does NOoOtT cut it for you anymore!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

1.\u00a0As a kid loud, in-store music always put you in the mood.<\/h2>\n

Some spoiled rats even walked around with music blasting on their Speakers<\/a>!! Tf.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As an adult you wonder how you’re supposed to put an outfit together when you can’t hear your own thoughts.<\/h2>\n

Never deal with annoying mall music again with these\u00a0Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones<\/a>.<\/p>\n
