*Warning: Grocery Shopping with Tweens is Hazardous to your Health

I used to not embarrass easily at all. That was until Friday when I made the mistake of letting Rebecca and her two overnight guests go into HEB (Texas Grocery Store Chain) with me. Here is a list of things I was absolutely mortified of them doing.

1.They giggled over guacamole calling it booger dip.....then tracked down a high school boy working there and asked him to price check the booger dip. The only reason I discovered this was when he tracked me down in the store to quote me the price of guacamole and I gave him this completely blank look, and the girls started giggling like crazy.

2. They thought it would be fun to shake up some of the 2 liter bottles of soda and "surprise" people who bought it. I explained to the heathens that it was a waste of time because by the time anyone took it home it would be back to normal again.

3. They discussed at length picking up queso and bean dip and then giggled endlessly of how bad the living room where they are sleeping will smell when all three of them have eaten bean dip.

4. At the checkout lane they asked for buddy bucks (an incentive for younger children) and then hurried over to the machine to get the stickers that go with said bucks.

Needless to say the girls couldn't have been happier just giggling away and blissfully unaware that my face looks like a tomato. On the plus side in my hurry to get out of HEB I forgot to buy the chips to go with the bean dip and queso....so no smelly living room.



I am soooooo shopping alone next time.
