Ok, so I have to give Target credit…for helping me remember why it is that I never take my kids anywhere!
All we had to get was socks for the troops, and shoes and underwear for Emily. Fun stuff, I know. It took 1 1/2 hour. Let me share my experience.
Stop #1 the Sock section. Right when we stop the cart, Olivia has to go to the bathroom. Back to bathroom we go. "Emily and Sam- Why don’t you go to the bathroom while we’re here?" “No.” They assure me they don’t need to go.
Ok, back to socks. Finish at socks. Move on to…
Stop #2 Shoes for Emily. After she tries on a few pairs that I wouldn’t buy, like Dora clogs and sparkly Dorothy-Wizard-of-Oz shoes, and somehow avoiding trying on anything I’ve picked for her to try on, Emily says, “ I peed!” (which means, “I need to pee!” in Emily language)
Back to the bathroom again. But-hey-I’m a veteran mom-I’m still doing good, haven’t lost my cool.
Back to shoes for Emily. She actually tries on some I would buy for her, and we’re almost done when, “I pooped!” This time, from my 4 year old son. Which actually means, “I pooped”, not I need to poop.
Back to the bathroom Again!! Now I’m in Target with two underwearless children. One-because he pooped, and the other, because she somehow went through 12 pairs of underwear in 2 days, and I didn’t have time to do laundry before leaving for Target. (where we will purchase more underwear) Do you think 18 pairs of underwear will be enough???!!!
We shall see…We shall see.
Livin’ the Dream!
Wouldn't life be boring without kids? I almost feel like I'm gambling when I leave the house with all the kids. You never know for sure what might happen!
ReplyDeleteI am laughing my head off!!! Welcome to the blogging world and I am happy you are on board!!! I am also so happy that I just was able to spend so much time with your kids the last couple of weeks because this meant so much more to me and was so much more funny!!! LOVED IT!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe other day I got to Maddie's soccer game and Seth had to go to the bathroom and of coarse there isn't one anywhere. We went to blocks to the karate place and came back in time for the second half, fun.
