I relate on the trips to Wal Mart. I have to take little ones with me all the time. This is my experience-
My trip to Wal-Mart with my 3 year old son and 5 year old daughter-
*No you can't go outside to play right now, we need to go to Wal Mart to get diapers and toilet paper.
*Please don't run your fingers down the side of the truck.
*No you can't ride in the cargo area. And please get out of there and let me buckle you in. *because you have to be safe and I don't want a ticket from the policeman.
*Ok, you can take your feet off the back of my seat. *Yes, I know you're there, I haven't forgot.
*Quit pulling your sisters hair. Listen to her words, she doesn't like that. *And sister, please quit taking his toy away, you know that makes him scream.
*Please don't unbuckle yourself, wait for me to get you. Ok, out of the cargo area again. No, I don't need the interior lights on. *because it will drain my battery.
*Ok, no I'm sure the person who owns the Dodge doesn't need your fingerprints either. *Yes, I'm sure of it.
*No, we need to leave the gum on the ground. No I think we can manage without that penny too. *Because it's dirty and has germs.
*No, you can't ride on the bottom of the cart, you have to ride on top with the buckle. *Because you might hurt yourself. *Yes, it might happen and I want you to be safe.
*No candy now, I will let you have a special treat if you behave though.
*Please come out from under the clothes rack. *And please quit hiding my keys in the pockets of the women's pajamas.
*Please quit grabbing the things off the shelves. *Because I will pick out what we need.
*No, I will push the cart. *Ok, but for only a minute. *I'm sorry, my daughter didn't mean to ram you in the behind. *Be careful. *Ok, I will push now. *Because that stocker doesn't look to happy that he has to rebuild his toilet paper display you knocked down. *Because we need to hurry now.
*Yes, we are going home to eat in a minute. *No, we can't eat at McDonald's. *Because we have food at home. *I know you want a Happy Meal, but you better be happy with what I fix you!
*Ok, I guess we will buy the diapers you just pulled the wrapper off of. *No, it's not nice to leave the damaged one for someone else.
*No, you can't have a treat. *Because you did not behave. *Begging won't get you anywhere. *Neither will the tears.
*I need the things in the cart, don't throw them out. *Because we need them at home. *I know you are mad at me. Please quit.
*That's not nice to tell the cashier that she has a mustache. *Because it will hurt her feelings. *Ok, you said it anyway, now are you proud of yourself, you embarrassed her. *Because I said it wasn't nice. *Yes, I'm sure she did too know.
*Ok, where are my keys? *I guess it's back to women's pajamas.
*No, we are not buying Kettle Corn on our way out. *Ok, I said no to the gum and penny. *Keep your hand off the cars. *Get out off the cargo area and turn the lights off.
*No, No McDonald's. *I just said so, that's why.
*Feet out of my back. *Stop picking at your brother. *Because he doesn't like it. *No, you are not playing, you are picking at him.
*No, you can't go play outside yet. *Because you need to come eat lunch. No, you can't eat outside. *Because the dog will eat your food out of your hands.
*No, I'm not making the dogs a sandwhich too. *Because they don't like peanut butter. *Yes, they told me so. *I'm special, I know what dogs are thinking. *Yes, they will still take your sandwhich away.
*You're done. *No, you still cannot go outside and play. *Because you need to take a nap. *Yes, you do. Then you can go outside to play. *Because I said so.
*Go to the bathroom and wash up. *Because you have peanut butter and jelly all over you.
*No need to shout to me tattling through the door. *Yes, your brother will go to sleep if you would stop shouting that he isn't.
Ok, I get a short break. Then off to play outside.....
