Grocery Shopping with Mommy

This morning I did my weekly fruit and vegetable shopping. As usual, I took Azriel Shraga and Naftali with me (they are home with me in the mornings). But last week, one of the workers got upset at me for bringing my stroller into the store (I've got a BIG double stroller, and the store is quite small...) So this time I decided to avoid a confrontation, and I put the kids into the shopping cart and left my "truck-sized" stroller in the "parking lot".

Only problem is that they don't make shopping carts with two seats, and this one didn't have a strap either. So I put Azriel Shraga in the seat and sat Naftali down in the cart. Well of course, Naftali immediately stood up, and the two of them were so excited to be in such great view (and reach!) of all the food!

"Mommy, buy (clemen)tina!" Azriel Shraga said. And then he saw they pomegranates- "I want (ri)mon!"

I was busy picking out zuchinnis, and I when I turned around, I saw Naftali chomping into a HUGE apple. He was SO thrilled with himself! I tried taking it away from him so I could pay for it, and he was horrified!

But then, as soon as I put the bananas in the cart, he threw down his apple and started trying to eat the bananas (peel and all!) He was quite upset when he saw that they don't taste as yummy with the peel still on!

(It gets even better...)

Next, I went to the grocery section. Doritos were on sale 5 for 10 Shekel, so put them in the cart. Naftali immediately grabbed a bag and started chewing it, and as soon as Azriel Shraga saw them, he started complaining, "Mommy, I'm hungry to the bottom!" (This is a household phrase in our home, coined by Yisrael, to mean that he's SO hungry that he's on empty! However, Azriel Shraga uses it even when he's not hungry 'to the bottom'- he'll say it when he's got a craving for something!)

So of course, as soon as we left the store, we had to stop for a munch- apples, bananas, clementinas, and of course, Doritos!
