everything more interesting, especially something with as high a
freak factor as letterboxing. You'll need food, lots of food for the
boyfriends. And accessorize! New shoes, especially, work well.
Getting ready for letterboxing can take as long as getting set for
the mall, so new accessories really help. Letterbox NEAR the mall.
Ok, bring the boyfriends, food, accessorize, pass near the mall.
Offer to let them drive (but not the boyfriends, trust me on this
part). If they drive near the mall in new shoes with the boyfriends
in the back seat they won't even NOTICE that they're spending time
with their parents! They'll love it, trust me!
