It must’ve been ‘take your toddlers grocery shopping” day.  I’ve never seen so many rug rats dashing around the grocery store at one time.  I spent an hour playing dodge-the-little-buggers this afternoon and never have I been happier to get out of the store.

     There were running toddlers, screaming crying toddlers, and immovable temper tantrum riddled toddlers in every aisle.  I longed for earplugs and tot pinging radar.  I’ve made a note to myself NEVER to go grocery shopping on a Tuesday.  It isn’t a day that I normally go grocery shopping and I now see what I have been missing.  CHAOS!

     While in the check out line, a child at the next register let loose with a screech so piercing it was almost out of a human’s hearing range.  I think I heard dogs howling out in the parking lot.  If we’d been near the ocean, dolphins would’ve beached themselves. 

     My ears are still ringing.
