- Placate the toddler with goldfish crackers, and lead her to the car.
- Realize you forgot your grocery bags.
- Get halfway back up the stairs, and remember that you left 2 bags in the car last time.
- Drive to the store, listening to toddler sing about goldfish crackers.
- Get shopping done in surprisingly timely manner, despite repeated requests in and out of cart, and multiple backtracks because you don't need to write a list.
- Drive home, again listening to a serenade about goldfish crackers.
- Arrive home, remove crackers from child, and place on roof.
- Remove child from car, and retrieve groceries from trunk.
- Reach for goldfish crackers, and watch as a random gust of wind blows the entire bowl into the open sunroof, and all over front seats.
- Shrug, and go upstairs.
A record of the insanity involved in raising two kids two years apart. Sense of humour required.
