It's Not Candy

I ran into an old friend at Target in Council Bluffs when we were on vacation two weeks ago. I'm glad this happened after we chatted...

Jackson was riding in the basket of the shopping cart when I tossed in a box of tampons. Since looking for kid-friendly bug spray is a real challenge I didn't notice that he opened the box and sprinkled them all over the cart.

I hear Jackson saying, "Siley, candy? Candy, Siley?" That's weird. We didn't put any candy in the cart. Yes, he opened the box of tampons and tried to feed them to his brother. "No, that's not candy!"

As fast as I'm picking them up and trying to shove them back in the box he's tossing them out the little holes in the cart onto the floor. It was like a game of tampon wack-a-mole.

By the time we made it to the check-out line half the items in our cart had been opened. Who knows if I even got all 24 tampons I paid for. For all I know they are still sprinkled up and down the bug spray isle.
