Grocery Shopping

Normally, I do all the grocery shopping for the house. Mike and I have learned that I am faster at the grocery store than he is. That's fine with him.

The last two weeks, however, he's been helping.

I wrote up last week's list for him. It looke something like this:

• Gallon of milk
• Carrots
• Crystal Light
• Confectioner's sugar

I read it to him and when I got to the sugar part, he asked me exactly what it was. I told him it was powdered sugar and showed him the nearly empty bag we had. He nodded, but I wasn't sure he remember.

I decided to revise the list. When I finished, it looked more like this:

• Gallon of milk - 1% or 2%, whichever has the farthest expiration date
• Baby carrots
• Crystal Light - iced tea
• Confectioner's sugar - looks like blow

Off he went to the store. When he returned, he posted the list on the fridge. I asked why and he said he appreciated my comments and they were extremely helpful. His favorite was my description of the powedered sugar.

Hey, at least he got it right. :)
