Grocery shopping with Thomas and Kaitlynn

Yesterday I went grocery shopping at the commissary like I do every two weeks. I took Thomas and Kaitlynn yesterday and that was swell in itself. These kids are freaks. We get there and are walking across the parking lot to the entrance and Thoams says VERY loud "momma what the heck is that guy wearing?" - The guy was a young Sailor I’m sure and had on a simple black shirt with some monster thing on it. I say very calmly "Thomas? Are we suppose to talk about people?" he says "No but, did you see it?" Alright swell this kid is starting already. We get to the cart section and neither of these two freaks will walk beside the cart. Me being six months pregnant have to heave their heavy asses into a rocket cart so that they will be quiet and stop bitching cause they are to tired to walk. - Yet when we get home it’s can we go out and play? - First thing as soon as we walk into the door Thomas says "Mommy what if you hit those waters out there? And they explode ... That would be soooo cool!" I say "Well son if I were to hit those and they explode there would be water everywhere, I would be pretty mad and I’d have to pay for water that we were not able to drink." Ok fine, then Kait has to start. "Mommy why is she looking at your card?" - at the commissary they do 100% ID checks. - "So that we can buy food here" We walk into the fresh food isle and there are tons of people. I’m excited because, fresh green beans are now 79 cents a pound instead of the 1.49 they were the other day and yellow squash and zucchini is the same. SWEEEEEET. Anyway I get three bags. Thomas and Kait are playing around with the seat belts in the cart. I get to the green beans and Thomas YELLS "YUCK!! What is that?!?" Kait answers for Mommy the best! "Duh, they are beans. I like beans. They are yummy" Thomas sticks with the yuck I don’t like those reply. Same for the squashes. Well I grab a ten pound bag of potatoes and stick them in the cart. That’s cool with both of them. Thomas then decides that he wants to hold the green beans now. I told him if he touched anything in the cart that I would make him walk. Well he kept his hands off. Well we get over by the lunch-able isle and he’s "oooh mommy I love those, can you get me those, please I love those for my lunch, Mr. Wheatley says I can have those for lunch" - I didn’t get them - We move on to the "Sale" isle. I find cereal that’s 1.50 a box and it’s what they’ve been asking. I get two boxes of chocolate cereal and two other kinds Thomas about peeded with such happiness. So next is the meat counter. These kids are now talking about what I’m putting in the cart and giggling about other things. I get the hamburger and put it in the cart. Kait says "oh I like that red stuff." Thomas says to her "It’s yuck it’s not cooked Kait, you’ll poop red." This old man is standing there looking at us like we’re crazy. Err. I get the rest of the meat and go to the chicken counter. Thomas says "What?! Chicken isn’t pink." Kait says "I know it’s white." giggle giggle. Well we make it through most of the isles with minimum questions about people and what I’m not putting in the cart and why. - that answer is usually because this is what we eat - I get to the pasta isle and this guy is on the MC and says whatever. and Thomas says giggling "What did he say?" I reply "He said if you don’t keep your hands in the cart you’ll have to leave" This lady next to me just started to crack up. Says that she’ll have to say that to her kids when she has to take them. Kait then asks why we need milk and cheese and all this other stuff. After a cart FULL of stuff we get to the bread and Thomas and Kait are looking at me like I’m nuts because I just put four loafs into the cart. - what can I say we eat bread like all the time - We check out and Thomas is talking to the checker. Says things like "Why do you work here?" and "Is that fun?" She was nice though and wasn’t mean and answered his questions. Now at the com. people carry out your things. Kait started to freak when we got to the car and the man was still beside us pushing our things out. I open the door for him to put it in and get the kids into the van. She asks "Is he coming to our house now?" This girl is crazy. She knows what happens when we go there, they help you out and put things into your car. Anyway I think by far the funniest thing that was yesterday there was when the guy came over the MC and my reply to Thomas and that lady starting to laugh. Good Times.
