A Trip the the Grocery Store

One day in September, Jay and I made a much-needed trip to the grocery store. Jay wore his uniform--spiderman costume and cowboy boots. I made him leave his blankie cape behind since it was close to 100 degrees.

Harris Teeter provides mini carts for kids and he immediately grabbed one. As he zoomed down the aisle, I saw two young men laughing at him.

Of course his first stop was the display of free cookies; the second was the cheese samples. With a cookie in one hand, he grabbed a fistful of the toothpicked cheese cubes with the other. The toothpicks stuck out of his fist in every direction. He twisted his hand around trying to figure out how to get a cheese cube into his open mouth. His perplexed expression was priceless.

Then, I overheard one of the men exclaim to the other, "I love that kid!"
