GP goes shopping!

Tonight I had to make a "quick stop" at Hannaford's on my way back from dinner at Boston Market w/ GP who sat there and ate his Taco Bell tacos without taking a breath between them (boy , he loves those things!) Anyway, I had a craving for some fresh fruit (I think it's because it's in season and it's all good. Haven't met a peach I didn't like; the trick is getting them before they go to cardboard, YUK!) and asked GP if he would wait in the car while I went in and picked up some fruit. To my surprise he said "No, thanks. Just come in with Mom." So off we went. I didn't pick up a cart as I wasn't really "shopping" just picking up some fruit...well, no sooner had I stopped in front of the peaches than GP declares,"we need a cart" and I said, "It's ok, we just need some fruit" and he says "no, don't forget the cereal!" I didn't even KNOW we were out of cereal so it's a good thing he's on top of that. Anyway, I'm all over the place tonight...sorry! Well, i went and got the cart and sent him to pick up the cereal, and all was good until I was getting ready for checkout and here comes GP carrying FIVE boxes of toothpaste and a small box of cereal. I asked him if we need toothpaste and he said "we're running low"...which means we only have about five tubes left! LOL! I had to laugh. I asked him why we needed a small box of cereal and he said "to share with Mom and Pepper", so I asked "what about the large one?" to this he replies with a puzzled look "That's Gene Paul's!"
I just thought this was so funny. GP hasn't been speaking very long and his conversations are always music to my ears. I find him to be such a funny guy. I still don't understand his reasoning sometimes but I know that if there was a hurricane tomorrow I would be all set with toothpaste and Listerine... did I mention we aren't "running low"? That's because he buys the stuff by the gallon, LOL!!! Oh, and how much Age Repair toothpaste does a 12 year old really need? He said it's new and he 'just going to try it". Hey, he could be trying some new chips, so I'm not complaining, I just think that they should have a toothpaste free isle for mom's like me... that stuff is not cheap at the supermarket! LOL! Oh, and he picked up a new battery powered toothbrush too... to use with his age defying toothpaste!

Wow! Your boy's teeth will age better than any Hollywood starlet could ever hope too!

How fabulous it must be to hear his language developing. YAY GP!

How funny! My 2 seven year olds love toothpaste too! They always want to try new flavors! :)
