Posted - Apr 04 2008 : 06:14:51 AM Jus and I went over to Tractor Supply last night to get some fencing stuff and some other spring gardening needs. I like their barn type water hose, and we needed a new one, so that was on my list. I kept mentioning the hose all day and told Jus on the ride over "don't let me forget to look at the hose"...
Shopping with him is hard, so I keep organized with my list--he's VERY distracting. So while I walked around, marking things off the list, he must have taken his own initiative, because when I caught up with him and the cart, I said, "what are those?" Looking at two different types of garden H-O-E-S...."You've been rattling on all day about these, how not to forget them, so I just grabbed them up--which one do you want?"
I laughed and said, "H-O-S-E!!!! not H-O-E-S!!!!".
An older gentleman overheard our exchange, laughed and said, "Son, you might as well realize it out now--she's got it all under control and you'll never be so lucky!!",patted Jus on the shoulder and walked away.

Posted - Apr 04 2008 : 11:18:20 AM He surely does, Jo. I am still chuckling over how confident he was in putting those garden hoes in the cart. Too cute!

Posted - Apr 04 2008 : 08:10:34 AM He did...actually, he's been told this before time and again from older uncles and his grandfather...."just let her go and she'll take care of the world!".
He is a good helper, but like I said, he can be VERY distracting, which is why he doesn't come to the grocery :) I'd end up with 10 kinds of cookies and a bunch of juice!

Posted - Apr 04 2008 : 08:07:24 AM That is too funny Jonni! At least he was being a sweetheart and trying to help! That old man sounds like a gem! What did Jus do after that? Did he look poleaxed?

Posted - Apr 04 2008 : 06:20:11 AM Hmmm... phonetically speaking, he could have picked up at least one other thing! Be glad it was H-O-E-S!! (I bet that girl woulda been a-screamin' when he stuck her in the cart though. Heh heh.)
