Typical Shopping Trip:
Me - Kids, we need to Costco.
Kids - AWWWWW, I hate going to Costco! Can't you go when daddy gets home? Whine. Complain. Are we there yet? When are we going to be done? How much more do you have to get? Why does this take so long? He's looking at me! She keeps walking where I want to walk. My legs are tired. When are we going to be home?
Today's Shopping Trip:
Me - Kids, we are almost out of toilet paper.

Today's Shopping Trip:
Me - Kids, we are almost out of toilet paper.
Kids - *disinterest*
Me - But it's ok, because we have lots of trees in the backyard - we can just use leaves.
Kids - WHAT?! *shocked faces*
Me - The only thing is that we'll have to go out and get them each time before we use the bathroom.
JJ - Even if it's an emergency??!
Me - Yes, because if the leaves dry out, they'll just crumble.
KK - *tears*
Me - Or.... *dramatic pause*
Kids - What?! What?!
Me - There's only one other thing we could do... We could go to Costco.
Kids - *jumping up and down* YES! Let's go to Costco!! PLEASE! Can we go to Costco instead?!
Me - yeah, I guess that's probably better ;)
