We did make someone's day today...

I had an agenda today and it was to get some errands done and be home by noon...we were late by an hour. That is okay though, we had lots to do and we got it all done. We were at our last stop which was the grand ole supermarket that has high fluting people around, but has an awesome selection of hot peppers which I was in the market for...we are making and canning salsa here. As we head towards the front of the store I hear the one of the older boys say to the youngest, "Remember the time when we used to take our arms out of our sleeves and put them back in criss cross?" I take a deep breath and say (since I remember those times very very clearly) "If someone gets stuck, I would not help them." We are now at the front of the store and guess what...the youngest is struggling...with what I don't know and I really am not wanting to look...so I DO NOT look, UNTIL I notice an older man staring at us with a smirk on his face...uh oh. I turn to follow is gaze and it is at the youngest son, who was so easily influenced by his older brothers. This is what the man saw (sorry I have to describe it in words, since I didn't have my camera with me): a little boy who is now very shy, since he has gathered an audience, with his left arm in his right arm sleeve and his right arm in his left arm sleeve and through the struggle to get out of this, his collar of his shirt is now halfway down his left arm...guess what he is stuck! And being the wonderful mom that I am...I start to laugh...really laugh, I mean what else was there to do. The older man went around us and then stopped, he came back and made some sort of comment about us have so much fun at the supermarket. That was the Wacky Wonderful Wednesday that we had.
