This afternoon Mrs. LittleBill and I hauled ourselves off to the grocery store to procure victuals for the coming days. Sunday afternoons are always an adventure. The store is stuffed with high energy professionals, harried mothers herding small children, and a few geezers thrown in to make it all interesting. We like to forego the list. It helps with exercise. "Oh, we forgot this" adds to the step count since "this" is always at the other end of the store. It only ceases to be amusing when "this" is not discovered until we are home in the driveway, and I am sent back to find it.

Dodging the other customers sort of makes the event into a cross between Mad Max and The Running Man. Today was particularly interesting as there was a small skinny woman there who seemed to think that this was the perfect opportunity to get her power walking in while pushing a grocery cart that weighed approximately three times what she did. I got the impression that she paid no attention to the teacher when she took physics in high school. She did a great job getting her cart up to speed, but look out for those turns!

Probably the best part of the trip was watching the little girl who was about three years old take off her boots and proceed to run around loose and barefoot. Her horrified mother enlisted her older sister to help run her down, but she was like a greased pig when they tried to hold her down and get her boots back on. Since I have been promoted to Grandpa, I can stand back and laugh quietly. Both of the girls saw me watching. The barefoot one had a positively demonic grin on her face. When her older sister saw me smiling, she let loose with a giggle of her own. We survived the adventure though, and returned home with some new foods to try out that are low fat or at least low carb.

Thanks for the smile

You need to post more! I literally find myself laughing out loud.

And.....I just came from the grocery store with my (geezer) father N law. Imagine an 87 year old in one of those motorized carts.

This really happened.....He plows into an entire table in the bakery section of cherry pies and they all crash to the ground. The worked comes out and starts cleaning up the mess. You would think said father n law would say something like "I am so sorry" but no....he says: "Got any more cherry pies, these ones are broken"

Really, true story!

Thank you. And that's a pretty good story of your own! I like to write. It is something of a hobby for me, so I suspect you'll see more to come.

Sounds like Sunday afternoon in our local WinCo! Which reminds me, I need to go get 10 pounds of pinto Beans...
