What's more fun that x-mas shopping in a crowded store?

When your 5 yr old upchucks french toast all over the store, that's what. x(

(She's fine...I think she was just overheated and a bit motion-sick. :))

1. Dropping a wine bottle on your foot?

How about sliding in dog pee on the tile in front of the door.

Preparing for a colonoscopy?

14. I dropped a HUGE bottle of vinegar

on my foot once...given the other option, which was it bursting all over the floor, I think I was ok with that. :D

2. Got you to the front of the line, didn't it?

:hi:

[dolo amber]

18. I almost got a ticket

from the parking lot security guy...I brought the car 'round to the front, threw on the "invisible lights" (heh :D) and dashed in to retrieve her. hedges was paying for the stuff, and as I brought her out he'd stopped behind me and was rifling through his book thingy. :o

I explained the situation and he was cool...but had I been a bit slower... :(

3. Try being behind the little bas...oops.

Couple weeks ago I was behind a woman with 3 kids, all under 5, and the second one barfed right in the aisle.

Meanwhile, they all, and I mean ALL, were screaming.
Not crying, SCREAMING.

I went and got the store manager, and told him exactly what I wanted him to do to this trailer park trash family.
(No, doesn't involve major mayhem...)

10. I quickly hustled her into the ladies room

She was in the shopping cart, so I just dragged her, pukey jacket and all of the merch in there. I'm shocked I didn't get strip-searched on the way out. :D

4. Talk about adding insult to injury!!

:crazy:

[XNASA]

5. I blame the French.

Dumbass frogs.

[dolo amber]

6. Well now that's like shootin' fish in a barrel, innit?

:D

[XNASA]

8. It's the only thing I have any energy for.

I've been draggin' ass since my wife's office Xmas party held this past weekend. Too much wine. Again...I blame the French.

[Fenris]

9. Hey!

x(

And besides, the exact origins of French toast are unknown. :P

[DS1]

7. I blame the constant roar of Christmas music

It makes me claustrophobic and all I want to do is GET OUT NOW

[dolo amber]

19. See, now that would've explained it

if she'd pulled out an uzi and gone on a rampage...dunno about spewing french toast. ;)

[Squatch]

11. Jamming toothpicks under my fingernails.

I HATE shopping. Unless it's for toothpicks.

[eyesroll]

12. When the not-yet-potty-trained 2.5-y.o. poops on the floor of a Walgreens

men's room on a 90-degree day?

I'm sure that was fun. (At least she thought it was.)

[dolo amber]

17. Hrm...you might win this one

x(

[eyesroll]

20. I think J won that one, actually...

I was blissfully unaware, and stocking the cart with necessities for our weekend at RadFest, until he and H emerged from the restroom (where they'd gone for a diaper change), she bouncing happily, he smiling through clenched teeth, with a "you better be done let's get the hell out of here" look in his eyes.

(Yes, he did what he could to clean up.)

[Cathyclysmic]

13. Wow...All the fun stuff happens to you, doesn't it.

[dolo amber]

21. Don't hate the playa, hate the game

B-)

[elehhhhna]

15. Having ones water break in the center aisle?

happend to an acquaintance.

[RevCheesehead]

16. Root canal?

A barium enema?
Sitting in a physician's waiting room that's run out of Kleenex?

I've got more...

[Saphire]

22. having shards of glass sprinkeled into my eyes?
