The Rules...

On our way to Trader Joe's this morning, my favorite question..."Can we get a treat???" came at me from a little voice in the backseat.
As always, the response, "Well, what do you think you will need to do to EARN a treat???"

Here's the How To Earn A Treat list that the boy and the Dictator came up with...

1. Don't put your finger in your mouth.
2. Don't put your finger in your ear.
3. Don't put your finger in your sister's nose.

and MOST IMPORTANTLY

4. DO NOT poop in your pants.

So in we went...
after just moments of "shopping," the dictator had to be strapped in the cart for random acts of Totally Horrible behavior and then shouted "UNBUCKLE ME" so loudly and often that a daring Trader Joe's employee tried to "help out" with stickers...

"NO WANT STICKERS!!! UNBUCKLE ME!!"  


Thanks anyway :)

As we got back in the car, the boy said, "So, can we get a treat??"

Well, you didn't put your finger in any inappropriate places and we're all poop free, so why not.
