Shopping with the kids at Kroger. Against my better judgment, I let Sarah push the cart. It's not long before she rams it into the back of my ankles. As I whirl around and snap at her, a memory suddenly flashes in my mind. I was pushing the cart behind my mom in the grocery store, and I rammed it into the back of her ankles. It was one of the few times that she snapped at me. So I told my kids that story right there in Kroger, and they both said, "Really? Grandma got mad?" and Noah wanted to know more times when Grandma got mad. I told them another tale involving a grocery store incident (which my mom wouldn't want me to post here), but there's one more that I'm keeping to myself, at least until they're teenagers.

Kind of gives new meaning to the phrase, "what goes around comes around" :-) I once posed as a mannequin at an old store here in Pekin and when I moved I scared another lady really bad and heard a few choice words from my mother....while she tried to hide a smile.
