Shopping with an Singing Octopus

Mommy and Daddy don’t care for stores with narrow isles. We avoid them when possible. Our stroller is like an octopus with eight arms and legs reaching in all directions for shinny objects. It can be very challenging to negotiate a store with narrow isles without interesting items being gathered in the cart. So far we haven’t broken anything valuable mainly because we haven’t dared take our octopus into china shops. Also, sometimes when we’re happily shopping we sing (in our outside voices), and shushing won’t stop us. I suppose when a tune is in your heart, you just have to let it out. Heading for the exit is the best remedy. Recently we were in Lowes, a wide isle store, purchasing painting supplies when we temporarily parked the stroller too close to a display in reach of brochures.
