I’ll give you one guess as to WHY on earth I snapped this pic of the baby in one of those godforsaken rocket buggies at the Publix. (Aside: does anyone else positively despise those things? They don’t hold nearly enough groceries for a family of four for a week, they are the devil to maneuver, I can practically see the germs swarming in the nooks and crannies of the steering wheels, and I wouldn’t dare touch the seat belt thing for fear of contracting some sort of rare and contagious illness. And I’m not really even a germ-a-phobe.)
But I digress… You probably think I’m continuing to document the hair growth after the unfortunate gum/scissors/shower incident. But that’s not it.
Or maybe you think I just love that sweet smile. Which I do, of course. But not this day.
I could actually barely hold my hands steady enough to take the picture because I was guffawing at what unfolded when we hopped out of the car in the parking lot with exactly seventeen minutes to get in and out of the store before making it home for the PCP’s bus.
“Mommy, I forgot some-fing.”
“Oh great. Your shoes again? Well, I’ll just carry you. Hop out. Hurry up.”
*we are now both standing in the parking lot*
“But Mommy, I forgot my pants.”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep. The one thing worse than forgetting shoes. Forgetting the pants. He had them on when we walked out the door and decided to take them off and toss them in the garage while I was getting my earth friendly bags that I forget 99% of the time. (Lesson learned.)
So we’ve now wasted three of our precious seventeen minutes and my side is about to split from laughing so hard. We pressed forward without the pants – just shirt, socks and sneakers. Don’t judge.

Oh my word – that is HILARIOUS!!! Never a dull moment with little boys! :-)
We've done it!!
Too funny!!! And he's such a cutie, how could a mama not laugh :)

I can't stop laughing. Seriously – that's a story for his wedding!
Just classic!!! I am most impressed that he wasn't embarrassed to go to the store in his undies. I too count down all the minutes of the day and fit in errands in 17 minutes. ;)
OMG! That is hysterical. Reminds me of the commercial with the little one who keeps undressing in the back seat of his moms car…ends with her receiving a phone call, and yes, she does just so happen to have an extra pair in the car! LOL MIght want to think about that one Amanda. ROFL
SO funny!!
From someone who is always racing against the clock, I totally understand not going back. SO funny!

This is hysterical!! I have two boys and can just picture my older one doing this. I think I am going to keep an extra change of clothes in the car just in case.
I'm glad I'm not the only Mom who totally resents the genious who invented those germ bag carts! You know it had to be some guy WITHOUT kids thinking of ways to lure more Moms. My skin literally crawls just looking at them!
DYING. Love this story.
Too funny. That smile melts your heart, just can' t be mad with that
HAHAHAHAHA
Oh my goodness that is the funniest story!!!
That is hilarious! I am not going to laugh too hard because I know it will happen to me!
You are real!
The funniest part is that you finally let him ride in the germ cart when he had the very least germ armour ever, better take note he might think no pants is the KEY to getting the fabulous to kids , horrid to moms 18 wheeler grocery cart lol
Thank you for sharing and keeping it real!!! Might I suggest in addition to keeping those "resuable bags" in your car that you also keep a changing of clothes, just in case. :)
So hysterical!
I enjoy your blog so much, but this post was stellar! I have two boys (8, 5) and could so see this happening to us!
Please tell us again how he came to cut his hair….I don't know how I missed that post! Thanks for the giggles. :)
Absolutely without a doubt something that would have happened to me. No judging here at all & yes I do hate those carts, as well as the really big ones at Target too!
