Grocery Store Fun

Last week we were at the grocery store and quite a spectacle. Now there is nothing unusual about us being a spectacle with the HUGE, non-steerable green race car buggy and one terrible mommy driver add in 2 princesses who usually sing loudly and well you have a spectacle.

This day we were a spectacle due to princess commentary that went something like this...

Standing in the hot dog/sausage area looking at the sausage choices to make red beans and rice. Precious 20-something guy standing next to us.

Mae yells out "Mommy, I need to hold one of those big weenies."

This prompts Jane to say "Me too, I love big weenies"

Guy chuckles and I turn to him and say "Hmm.. that is really not something you want to hear your 5 and 3 year old say/"

Standing in the dairy aisle getting Kraft American Cheese Slices.

Mae says "Look Mommy that lady has on a shirt that has a picture of the man you did not vote for on it. That man is going to take all my Halloween candy and give it to the lazy girl."

Nice. Mae wanted to know why we did not vote for a certain candidate. I explained it to her by using her Halloween candy as an example of how we were going to be taxed more.

Waiting in line to check out a lady pulls up next to us in the line over a buggy that is nearly spilling into the floor. Jane Harris "Look Mommy her buggy is really full" and then to the lady "hey, if you eat all that food in that buggy your belly will get really big" with her arms stretched out wide for emphasis. Nice lady smiles and says "Oh this is not all for me. I am cooking for Thanksgiving like your Mommy will." Jane without missing a beat says "Oh, my mommy does not cook we are going to Mimi's house."

I could not make this up!

We have now had talks about not discussing certain subjects in public.

Please no political comments.
