The malls are still busy after the holidays, and Mervin is patiently waiting in front of the shops with his two delicate granddaughters. Mervin moved from South Africa a year ago to be with the girls. Now he lives close by and comes to the Palms at least once a week. Mervin plays, cuddles and talks with the girls but over time they grow impatient. “The girls are hungry now. Boxing day sales are not for me but my wife likes clothes and such.” So one of them runs with a message to grandma. “Tell her we are going to old McDonalds.”
