Shopping Trip
I now get all my staples for the month in one big shopping trip, which frees me up considerably during our school weeks.  Alexandra always accompanies me.  She thinks it is because she is such an enormous help to me.  That's very true.  But the bigger reason is because she is so entertaining!  Here is a part of our dialog today...

Me:  Do you guys want mini ravioli again for a lunch or should we try the spaghettios with meatballs for a change?
Alexandra:  Get the o's.  It tastes like dog food.
Me: 

Later, in the car.
A:  Something smells like grasshopper.  I can't figure out what it is!
Me:    I don't think I'll even dignify that comment with a response! .... Personally, I have never smelled a grasshopper, so I can't help you.  Neither have I ever tasted dog food!
A:  If you squeeze them just right their little legs kick out again and again.
Me: 
A:  They have the ugliest little faces too.  You can just stare and stare at them for as long as they'll let you.  And of course they always puke on you.
Me:  That wouldn't have anything to do with squeezing their guts out, would it?!

I can't stop laughing here. :P THANKS, Alexandra!

And to be honest, I think that is why Mom takes me shopping sometimes... I give her helpful opinions like, "That coat looks like it's made out of carpet."

It's good to be wanted.

Haha, wow. You had no idea what kinds of things we were learning when we went outside to catch bugs and other small creatures, did you? :P
