I took my five boys to the store today to pick up a few things.
I grabbed a cart, pushed it a little out of the way so that our entourage didn't hold up anyone who came in behind us, and put Sneezy in the front seat of the cart.
I looked up to count and make sure my brood were with me when I noticed Sleepy a few feet in front of us looking around.
He noticed a woman pushing a cart in his vicinity and naturally believing he had the right woman and the right cart, grabbed a hold of it, and began walking away with her.
"Sleepy! Sleepy! SleEPY! SLEEPY!"
Even calling his name loud enough to wake the dead, he didn't hear me and continued walking away with the strange woman.
The woman noticed the ignorant child and stopped to look down at him with a gracious smile.
Sleepy's brothers ran after him and told him of his mistake with much glee.
When I reached my boy and saw the dawning realization cross his freckled face, the giggles got to me so badly that I was bent over. We were all huddled together laughing our heads off in the middle of the store.
Sleepy was proud that he had done something so funny.
When two parents who are often in their own world produce offspring, it's going to be quite an adventure.
