Another first at our house tonight. I was Mom's big helper after school today at the grocery, because Dad had to work later than usual and she insisted we go to the store because she has this significant fear that if our icebox sits without milk for over a day I might perish! Seriously! So we hit Wal-Mart at rush time (5 p.m.), but it wasn't so bad. As a big helper you must take the items Mom hands you and place them gently in the cart (trying not to squish the bread or eggs). You also get to help puch the cart, which can make walking for Mom a little bit challenging.
I took it upon myself to express my likes and dislikes and my biggest wishes (which included buying M&M's for breakfast ~ that didn't happen). But my suggestions were taken into consideration. So for dinner I picked out a box of Mac-N-Cheese, which is probably a staple for most kids my age, but I've never eaten it at home (not to say I haven't at school, because I eat anything there). Mom didn't fully believe I'd actually eat what I choose.

I set out to prove her wrong once again.
I also picked out cherry pop-tarts, some banana's, orange yogurt, peas and some mandarin oranges for future meals. But since I went to the trouble of carrying the Mac-N-Cheese box around the store, putting it on the belt for the cashier to ring up & then her putting it in my own sack, then escorting this box home ~ I insisted on eating it for dinner. Reluctanly Mom fixed it & I ate it! Surprise, Surprise.....what will it be next?
