Maddie Can Count

When I woke up this morning I planned my entire day! Only problem was everything took longer than I planned! I was running late for everything. One of the things I had planned on doing today was grocery shopping.
I love my Grandchildren very much but I try not to take them grocery shopping if at all possible. Today I broke that rule! I had planned to pick up Sammy from School and take him to Publix and then pick up Maddie from Preschool.
Well Sam had other plans. He was really hungry and thirsty when I picked him up so we went home first. Then He wanted to have some "alone time" for just 5 minutes! Well, long story short, we ended up picking up Maddie and then going Grocery shopping.
I thought "I can do this"! I have a list! I will move quickly and we will be in and out!
OK first we had to find a "Big Green" shopping cart that has two seats. The cart is so big you can't turn it around when going down the isle!!  Next we have to stop by the bakery and get a them a free cookie to eat! The kids know right where to go so don't even try to go to another part of the store first!
We are moving fast through the store trying to get everything on my list while they are eating and getting along with each other. Things are going really well until I get to the check out! Why is it that kids will be "Angels" until you get to the check out! Things started going down hill fast! All of a sudden the "Big Green Buggy" isn't big enough for both of them! I get to the car and put both kids in their seat and strap them in. While I'm loading the grocery's in the back it sounds like "World War III" in the back seat! As soon as I get in the car I ask "What is going on in here"? Sammy immediately says "Number one: Sissy tried to HIT me! Number two: Sissy tried to SCRATCH me! Number three: Sissy Tried to SQUEEZE my neck!
I looked back and Said "Maddie what do you have to say about all of this"?  She looked at Sammy and said "Sammy you forgot to say NUMBER FOUR"!
