Not sure I’ll be shopping at our local Coles again anytime soon
By hissychick | April 25, 2009
I had my first out of body experience in our local supermarket today, so acute was my embarrassment at what A said and did in front of an ill prepared mummy audience.
(Pausing to take a gulp of wine)
My four year old…she….oh…she….
(Another swig of sweet alcoholic relief)
…ok let me brace myself and paint the scene for you.
My stubborn little miss was determined to wear a singlet dress while shopping today, even though it was rather chilly and rather than entering into yet another argument I simply popped a long sleeved top into my handbag before we left home, knowing full well it would be requested at some stage during our outing.
(Yet another slug from my refilled glass).
Sure enough, a decidedly cold young miss determined that she needed an additional layer of warmth, just as I was heading back to pick up a bottle of forgotten juice while mr hissychick and little miss E started unloading groceries at the checkout.
(Shiraz cab me baby).
Big deal I hear you say. Ummm no. Or rather, I mean yes.
A decided that said top had to go under her dress, and proceeded to pull her dress down to her ankles in the middle of the damn aisle, revealing a bare chest and loads of bum crack peeking out from the decidedly too small undies that she had insisted on wearing. She then calmly redressed herself, totally unselfconsciously and oblivious to the somewhat horrified mummy bemused shoppers nearby
(Surely I can’t be halfway through a bottle of red already?).
Oh come off it hissychick you snort, kids do that kind of thing all the time, surely you just gave her a quiet talk about keeping nudity to the privacy of one’s own home and went on your merry way?
(May as well finish it off, it’s quite a nice drop)
Well that’s what I started to do, until I was interrupted by miss A, who loudly reminded me
“DON’T FORGET TO GET THE SPECIAL CHOCOLATE MEDICINE BEFORE WE GO HOME MUMMY TO KILL THE WORMS THAT ARE MAKING MY BOTTOM ITCHY”
You may never hear from me again.

That is priceless!! Don’t you love the way they manage to say these things so loudly that everyone around can hear!
Enjoy your red!
