The Grocery Store



Growing up, every Saturday afternoon I went to the Grocery Store with my mom. It's just what I did! She didn't ask me if I wanted to go, I just did. The only time I didn't go was if I had other plans, like the skating rink (we would still usually go, only before I went Roller Skating), or spending the day at a friends house, or a date, or if I lived somewhere else.

Yes, I said 'a date.'

Yes, I said 'if I lived somewhere else.'

I went Grocery shopping at Dicks Market (sometimes Albertson's) every Saturday with my mom up until I got married.


No, I'm not kidding.

I thought that this is what girls did with their moms...

Looking back, I realize this is not necessarily the case. I realize now, that I was the only High School girl at Dick's Market with her mom on a Saturday afternoon.

So, when I ask Piper if she wants to go to the store with me and she says no, I can't quite figure it out!

My mom didn't ask me if I wanted to go, she would say, "Are you ready to go?" or, "Before we go to Dicks, I need to pick up..."

Piper, will say, "Mom, shopping just isn't my thing!"

That makes me wonder...Is grocery shopping my thing? I mean, I've been doing it FOREVER!

And my answer is NO WAY!!

I dread it!
I put it off for as long as possible!
I HATE going when I have my kidlets with me!
I DO NOT go every Saturday...not even close!

Is all of the Grocery Shopping Hate due to the fact that I went FAR TOO MUCH as a child? What do you think?
