I was in Wal-fart today grocery shopping, and Hope was on her best behavior. No, I lie. She was being terrible. I think she is allergic to Wal-mart, seriously. I think I am too. I had to change my meal plan for the week because they didn't have stuff. Like sweet potatoes and mangoes. Aren't those pretty typical things to carry? Whatever. I'm flexible that way, and I had some other ideas. But anyway, I was buying some new socks for Hayden because the child told me he was out of socks...and I just washed his laundry late last week. Not good. He is a sock loser that one. And so, Hope was being terrible, and she was crying around...and this African American woman comes up to me and says "Girl, you better get a hold of that one!" I wasn't offended, I was actually rather amused. I "play" slapped her in the arm, and said "Girl, I know it!!" We had a jolly good chat right there in the Wal-mart.
Can I just say, I hate that it's dark by 5 pm!! It's nice that's it's not dark still when Hunter goes to school, but goodness. 5 pm!!

GASP! I LOVE that its dark early. This is how its supposed to be! And Wal Mart is not the best place to buy produce, I agree. As for Hope being a challenge there, I was there today as well, and Emmett got out of the cart and full-on ran away with me chasing and yelling his name and wantig to wring his neck by the time I got to him (him giggling the whole way). What is it with Wal Mart and misbehaving toddlers?
I talked to you on your way to Walmart and I could have told you by all the commotion in the backseat she was not at her best.
Good thing she is so cute and usually just adorable and all smiles.
i love what a stinker that girl can be. and i love that you "girl"ed her right back!!! she's lucky she didn't get punched - you must've been in a good mood! ;)
oh heather. how this post amuses me. I can't believe you through out a white-girl "girl" and playfully punched her arm. the visual is just KILLING me this morning. i would have probably given her the stink eye and then ran and hid somewhere.
You should have thrown down a z-snap to complete the exchange!
I'm sure somedays you have a very good hold on that girl... and maybe other days she just doesn't want to be held. And I'm not liking the darkness at 5ish either. I get on the train by 5... it's still somewhat light out, and by the time I get off at 5:30, it's totally dark. :(
