I giggle at her list and put the key in the ignition. "She is a heavy packer now isn't she" i think to myself as i pull out of the driveway. It is taking a little longer than usual to get the the store because of course, i wind up hitting every red light possible. "Thank god, i finally made it" I groan to myself as i roll up the windows and get out of the car. I walk into the store not even remotely knowing where to start on Charlie's odd shopping list. I decide to start from the top and work my way down. Now, In order to get to the grocery section of the store, you have to pass by the *Pause for dramatic effect* Toy Isle. And for any other professional adult this would be no problem and they would be in and out of the store in no time... But for me, my inner child wants to come out and play and it will not be ignored! I finally break down and i find myself looking at the remote control cars, trucks, helicopters, etc... I decided that it would be a fun thing for me and Charlie to play with around the house so i got a blue and red remote controlled pick up truck for me, and a black and pink remote controlled truck for her, i put them in my cart and slowly but surely make my way to the grocery section of the store and grab the last of the things that were on the list. The store is pretty empty today as i walk towards the cash register so i checked out and walked back to the car, grocery bags in tow. Once i finally lug all the bags into the trunk of my white Prius, and sit back down into the car, i am embarrassingly quite winded. "I need to start working out more..." I breathlessly mutter to myself as i take the keys out of my purse and put them once more into the ignition of the car, only this time, it does not start... it makes the noise of what i would imagine a walrus being strangled would sound like. So not a good sound to be coming out of my car. "Oh great." i say as i hit my head on the steering wheel. I pull out my phone and call a tow truck to help me jump start my car, and as i am waiting i also text Charlie to tell her i might be a little longer than expected.
