You’d be surprised by what you can find at Costco

I rarely take the kids shopping with me.  There are just too many of them, so I go when I have a babysitter, or I go at night.

Yesterday I made an exception and ran into Costco really quickly with Number 3 and Number 4 after their swim practice.  Number 4, especially, is easily excitable and impressed by just about anything since being in a store is such a rarity.

“Mom!  Look!  They have towels!”

“Mom!  Look at these crackers!”

So nothing is quick with her because she has to stop and look at (and touch) everything.  Yesterday I was really in a rush, so I must have said “Number 4, let’s go!” about 25 times.

I had a short list of things to get, and only about 15 minutes.  I stuck to my list, rushed to the cash registers, and miraculously found a lane with nobody in it.

I told Number 3 and Number 4 to stay right next to the cart and not to touch anything.  I was pretty much throwing the stuff from my cart onto the belt, and not paying attention to them.  Two people got in line behind us, but I didn’t pay attention to them either.

“Mom!” said Number 4.

I was trying to find my checkbook in my purse, so I was pretty distracted.

“MOM!” said Number 4, this time a little louder.

I still couldn’t find my stupid checkbook.

Number 4 couldn’t take it anymore.

“MOM! They have Chinese people at Costco!!!”

Hmmm.  Maybe I need to take her out a little more often.

But there’s no way I’m taking her to Walmart.
