A Grocery Store Rite of Passage
Greetings to everyone.
Day two of Rebecca's three weeks away, and what to two untethered guys do? That's right, we head for the supermarket!
We needed a few items for dinner, plus any stop at King Soopers means (in Xavier's world): Doughnuts! We chose our two donuts, then headed down the cookie aisle and placed a sleeve of chocolate double-stuffed sandwich cookies next to our doughnut bag. We then walked the aisles like two men who didn't know the store very well looking for the items we needed for dinner.
At the checkout, Xavier noted another little boy riding the penny rocking horse. He wanted to try it out!
I purchased our hand basket of items. Four pennies made up part of the change. After securing the grocery bag, we headed over to wait our turn on the penny pony.
Prior to today, Xavier has been wary of such rides. He intended to ride the pony this time, however.
And ride he did! Xavier had two rides, then we went home, leaving two pennies on the ride for other kids to use.
