We went out to Sam’s Club today to pick up some diapers and other sundries. We were more focused that usual and as a result Mom made an unfortunate comment on the way to the checkout to the effect that our cart was looking empty, whereas normally we worry that it’s going to cause an avalanche. Not wanting to have be the cause of undue mental stress for the Light of my Life (that’s my job) I immediately headed out to do more to help boost consumer spending.
One of the items I picked up was some Slim Jim meat snacks. These are a particular favorite of Charles. As soon as I put them in the cart, Charles demanded one of them. We told him he’d have to wait until at least after we had purchased the snacks. He accepted this and just fondled the container. Even after we got in the car, Charles insisted on holding the package. He then started playing with it like a guitar. It was cute, in a food obsessed kind of way.
For dinner, Mom served lima beans. Corwin thought this was fine, although he insisted on peeling the lima beans. I recommended against it, but Corwin was a dedicated little peeler. At least he eats them afterwards.
