Full House: Little Shop of Sweaters

It’s Valentine’s Day, and Danny has bought D.J. the royal blue sweater that she wanted. D.J. puts on the sweater and goes to school. At recess, she removes her sweater so she won’t get it all sweaty, but after she puts the sweater on the ground, the school’s gardener runs over it with a lawn mower, and the sweater is shredded. D.J. doesn’t want Danny to know about this, so she and Stephanie go to the mall to buy a replacement sweater, which is priced at $80.

Stephanie sees a sign on the checkout counter that says “Buy now, pay later”. Not realizing that a credit card is required to do what the sign says, she grabs the sweater in an effort to help D.J., but this gets Stephanie accused of shoplifting. Stephanie tells D.J. the whole story, and D.J. decides to wear the sweater (provided that they hide all the evidence) while they go out for dinner with Danny.

The next morning, the girls return to the mall to send the sweater back, but the store clerk catches them upon the sound of the alarm, and calls Danny, Jesse and Joey. The store does not press charges on any of the girls.

Stephanie: Hey, where’s your new sweater?
D.J.: (pulls parts of her now ruined sweater out of her backpack as she speaks) Right here... and here... and here.
Stephanie: What happened? Did it blow up?
D.J.: I was so stupid! I was playing soccer at recess, and I took my sweater off so it wouldn’t get all sweaty. Next thing I know, the gardener drives his stupid lawn mower right over my sweater.
Stephanie: Daddy is going to freak out.

Danny: Girls, I really like that you tried to help each other. But why didn’t you just come to me when you were in trouble?
D.J.: Because I thought I could handle things on my own.
Danny: D.J., you always think that. But to be honest, you’re much better at getting into trouble than you are getting out of it.
D.J.: Well, is there any way to practice getting out without getting in?
Danny: Well, no. But once you get in, you have to come to me, or Uncle Jesse, or Joey and let us help you. Because no matter what happens, we’re always on your side.
D.J.: Thanks, Dad. (hugs Danny)
