Driver’s Seat

Eva has been protesting being in the cart at the grocery store lately.  She screams if I buckle her in the seat, but then climbs out if I let her ride in the basket.  Truly an irritating phase.  I’ll admit I’ve shopped while she has one leg hanging over the side of the basket – it’s called “survival.”

I had an epiphany the other day that has solved my problem entirely.  She’s big enough for the car-cart.  Duh!

She was extremely pleased to drive around the store.  I was extremely pleased that she wasn’t screaming or climbing out.

Of course, the people I kept ramming into weren’t pleased.  Or the employees who will have to restock all the crackers I knocked off the end cap.  It’s definitely not a precise machine and is a bit sloppy around the curves.

A small price to pay for peace.
