I woke up this morning, and baby girl, was putting a lot of pressure in not very comfortable areas. Thus, the thought of going to the grocery store with my 5- year- old and 3- year-old boys was not the most exciting option of the day. Unfortunately, is was the only necessary option since we didn’t have any food left for meals. So off to the grocery store we went. The whole ordeal only took two hours.
The boys were actually wonderful. They were well behaved, and Will was so funny. Max decided to walk, so Will took up both of the seats, kicked back and relaxed. Imagine him lounging in the race car shopping cart. So without further ado, here are some of the conversations that took place:
While waiting for a woman with whitish shoulder length hair to pick out her beef, Will asks, “Is that a girl?”
In a very hushed tone, I answer, “Yes, that is a woman.”
His response (in not as much of a hushed tone) was, “Why does she have beard?”
(We walked away to look at some poultry.)
During one of the times that Max and Will were fooling around with each other, Max said, “You are a stinker! A big stinker!”
Will said, “No, I’m not! I’m a little stinker!”
One of the wonderful baggers at Publix not only unloaded my shopping cart, bagged my groceries, but also pushed my cart to the car and loaded everything into the car. I can’t tell you how grateful I was considering the before mentioned pressure, courtesy of baby girl.
As I was fastening Will into his car seat, he asked, “What’s his name?” (referring to our hero bagger).
“I don’t know. We’ll have to ask him next time,” I answered.
Will response was, “I think his name is John Mayer.”
I don’t know if this is as funny to you as it was to me. But needless to say, if I have to go grocery shopping for two hours and come home exhausted, I am grateful for a little boy with quite a sense of humor and curiosity. I hope he never loses either of them.
