So here I am, shopping with my 1 1/2 year old daughter and my ever so innocent 4 year old son.......
So my day started out somewhat smoothly. The kids were awake at the crack of dawn and I hadn't heard a thing. Sarah was babbling in her crib and the boys were busy putting some space ships together with lego. I realized that I needed to go grocery shopping as soon as the chimes of the alarm clock rang ( I can't remember how many times I pressed snooze but I know my limit is usually 3)
Anyway, got my cup of coffee, I get that before ANYTHING gets any sort of attention. Then got Keegan breakfast and out the door for school. The menu for that morning was left over cinnamon buns since I was on "cinnamon bun Sunday" at church the day before.
Then it dawned on me, I should make my week easier by making a meal plan for everyday.
So, I got out those trusty old Mennonite cookbooks and started to brainstorm.
Let's see....Monday, chicken burgers and rice, Tuesday, pot roast, Wednesday... you get the picture (it was perogies and farmer sausage if anyone out there cares :-)
I make my grocery list and decide we will venture out to the other side of Westbank to Save-On foods.
The two kids in tow and there I was, plunking a quarter in the shopping cart. It is the only place that uses a quarter for carts, I can't afford those places that charge a looney for a cart....yoma leed!!
Now before I tell the rest of the story, I will let you in on something....AIDEN HAS DISCOVERED THE JOY OF ASKING TOOOOOO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!
So here I am, in the frozen food isle, Sarah is sticky from head to toe with a red sucker. It's in her hair too. That is the reason I ALWAYS have wipes and PURELL. (Some of you have witnessed me use my warehouse sized one in my van!!)
Then the question arises....before I say it...imagine being beside the shelf stocker guy in the frozen food section and he is very young and probably kid-less.
Here goes.....Aiden pops the question just as I reach in the freezer for a box of chicken burgers..........."Mommy??? Have you ever had diarrhea??""
I am still killing myself laughing. I can just imagine what the shelf stocker guy was thinking. I laughed myself silly right then and there and Aiden said that it wasn't funny. He was so serious!
So I answered and made sure no one was around me and said "yes, it sometimes happens to me!!" LMAO!!!

I am laughing too. Yes - "yoma leed" - and "sheetari en book veh dawe". Priceless! Mom
Pardon my ignorance but what does LMAO mean? Don't know all that Western lingo! Mom
That is just too funny. I can only imagine how I would have cracked up and laughed. Would have probably peed my pants as well! I wonder, too, what LMAO means. Please enlighten me!
