grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

So can someone please explain to me why the Swiss grocery stores do not see the need to have "seat-belts" in their grocery carts? Is it because all Swiss children are just so perfect that they always sit patiently while their mothers shop. Hmmmmm? Anyone?

I had the shopping trip from H#** today! Ben would not stay in the cart. Not in the seat, not in the basket, not anywhere that would make life easy for me. He screamed, he ran, he made every Swiss person look at me with accusing eyes. Today I just stared back at people, I didn't apologize, I didn't care.

At the check out he grabbed a piece of chocolate. The girl checking me out acted like I wasn't going to pay for it. Scan it already and give it back to him so he doesn't start screaming again....pleeeeeeeeeease! Then to insult me more as if I'm "THAT" dumb American, she wasn't going to give me my nine packs of stickers for their current promotion. I just spent 190 CHF give me my darn stickers for my kids lady! She seemed irritated that I asked for them....whatever.

Ben left the store with both palms COMPLETELY smothered in chocolate along with a nice chocolate goatee. We gots lots of "oh la la's", laughs, and I'm sure some unsolicited advice which thank the Lord I didn't understand. As I entered the parking garage the Bon Jovi song "Who Says You Can't Go Home" was on the intercom and I almost started crying. I love you Jon.
