Angela is a big fan of lateral thinking. There's a small cameo in the last panel.

Panel 1 – in the mall
Mommy: I can’t believe how much you’ve grown in the four months I’ve been… away.
Angela: I told Daddy I needed new clothes. He didn’t believe me.
Daddy: I wasn’t sure how to shop for you. I’ll leave you two to shop. I need to get a new keyboard for my computer.
Panel 2 – they smooch
Panel 3 – he walks away
Daddy: Mall closes in two hours. We'll meet here at this fountain at that time.
Panel 4 – Angela walking into a store. Mommy sees a dress.
The middle row of little panels - A montage of Angela in different clothes. Mommy is eyeballing the dress the whole time.
Panel 5 – Looking at the dress
Angela: Mommy, you’ve been staring at that dress the whole time we’ve been here. You should buy it.
Mommy: When would I wear that dress. It’s too dressy.
Angela: You and Daddy should get dressed up and go somewhere fancy to celebrate your return.
Mommy: Yes, we should. That does mean I shouldn’t buy a dress like that? It can’t possibly fit.
Angela: Yes, it can.
Panel 6 – at the fountain, Angela sits waiting
Daddy: Why are you sitting here alone with all those bags? Where’s your mother?
Angela: Trying on a dress.
Daddy: And you walked away.
Angela: I’ll take you there.
Panel 7 – at the store, a gate bars the entry
Daddy: Why is your mother a mannequin?
Angela: She’s trying the dress.
Daddy: Angela, the store is closed until tomorrow. Even if you restored her, she would be trapped in the store.
Angela: I guess we’ll have to come back tomorrow.
Panel 8 – walking away. People can be seen in looking at Mommy mannequin
Daddy: Did you plan this?
Angela: Now that she had a beautiful dress, you should take her out to someplace nice.
Daddy: You didn’t answer my question.
