During yesterday’s quick (yeah, right) trip to Target for some basics, Princess demonstrated extraordinary insight.
themommykelly: (wandering listlessly through the isles checking her list): “TP. check. Paper towels. check. Cascade. check…”
Princess: (hopping up and down beside the shopping cart, holding the other half of mama’s list, shouting): “Mama, look, a man. A man’s shopping!”
(Handsome young, blue-eyed blond in shirt and tie smiles amusedly as he passes us.)
themommykelly: “Yes, honey. I see the man shopping. Men shop too, you know.”
Princess: “Mans don’t do shopping. Mans can’t shop. They don’t know how!”
themommykelly: (laughing full force, stopping mid-isle to hold back her preggo bladder)
Princess: “I think the mans need a list to shop so they know what to do!”
themommykelly: “BWAAAAAAAAA”
Oh, yes. My daughter already possesses wisdom beyond her years regarding the opposite sex! I’m so proud!
Man’s shopping lists would be interesting to compare with women’s
A man’s list:
beer & meat
according to my husband that is all that is necessary!
y’know what’s funny about that…she has reversed male chauvinism! i just did a post about my son’s male chauvinism so i’m finding your post to be exceptionally hilarious!!
i found my way here through pb&j in a bowl! love your blog!
My husband shops. He also makes a list.
MAKING and list and USING the list are totally different things. Recently when I missed something that was on his list I asked how that happened.
“Oh, I just shop from memory.”
Apparently the list is just a shopping accessory.
ahhh but can he find the items that are on his list??
