We’ve managed to avoid all the stinking, nasty flu bugs and colds this year. Until now. I made the mistake of taking my youngest to the grocery store with me. Young mothers filled the grocery stores, and several of them had stuffed their young children into the carts while they shopped. These kids were hacking up their lungs, crying, and some looked deathly ill. The mothers cared not as they briskly strolled down the aisles. All they said was, “Hold on, we’re almost done.”

We tried our best to avoid them, but these kids seemed intent on hacking into the atmosphere.

Which brings me to today. The kid I brought with me to the grocery store is sick. Hacking. Has a test tomorrow, too. GRRRRRRRR.

  1. I had to comment on this as I am laughing (sorry) at the situation. I try not to take my kids to the grocery store when they are sick. I don’t think it’s right to spread bad germs. But, I do understand if the Mother has to get food and has no one else available to help with childcare :)

  2. I agree with Michelle, it’s sometimes unavoidable, with no one to take care of the kids at home.. :(

  3. I think it stinks. I had four kids all 2 years apart. I never took them sick to a grocery store. Mothers should be fined or arrested or something, for endangering the public welfare.
