Cookie capers

A trip to the grocery store with the kids can be a nightmare, what with all the begging for sugary stuff that’s not on the shopping list. So, I had to share this with everyone because it made me laugh. I was in the cookie aisle at the neighborhood supermarket Saturday enjoying a rare childless shopping excursion when I noticed a cute young couple with 2 small children. The son, who looked to be about 5 years old, was trooping down the aisle clutching a package of cookies that he proceeded to put in the family’s cart.
When the mother noticed what he was doing, she told him with a smile that those weren’t on the list. To my complete amazement—& his parents, from the looks on their faces—he took the cookies out of the cart and went back to return them to the shelf. At this point his parents called out that even though they weren’t on the list, he could get them anyway. He must not have heard them because he kept going—at which point his sister, riding in the cart and likely watching the precious cookies slip away—yelled out frantically that he could get the cookies. The little boy happily placed his treasure back in the cart and the family continued on.
