Sometimes I am forced to take my two subjects to the grocery store, against my better judgement. Before entering the store I threaten life and limb for even having thoughts of misbehaving in any way, shape or form.
Upon entering the store, Ricky-Hannah grabs a tiny little "customer-in-training" cart and Ethan-Bobby gets one of those half-sized carts. Suddenly they both get the "crazy-eye" as they envision the aisles at the Just-Save, a local grocery store,becoming the Ramseur MotorSpeedway. Dear God, what have I done?!
However, my previous threats have make somewhat of an impact, because they limit their racing to short bursts of speed only when my back is turned. Now Ethan-Bobby and Ricky-Hannah are super competitive, and insist that they each get the exact same number of items in their carts, which resulted in a little "rubbing" accompanied by some loudly WHISPERED smack-talk, since neither want to feel the wrath of mom.
The hilarity of the whole scenario was almost to much to bear with a straight face, for myself and other random shoppers. We finished our shopping and Ethan-Bobby and Ricky-Hannah managed to avoid the "Big One". I thought having a girl and a boy 5 yrs apart would reduce the whole competition thing......Boy was I wrong!
