Sadie Drives ‘Em Wild

This afternoon I took Sadie to CVS and Hannaford with me.  In CVS I figured I was in trouble, letting her walk up the candy aisle.  What did she home in on, with the vast selection?  A 99¢ bag of spice drops.  Then later Valerie surprised us by recognizing the name “spice drops” as something “mmm… nummy.” Not that much should surprise me from kids I have trained to wave and say “hi doppelganger!” to themselves in the mirror.  Sadie almost has the word down pat.  Valerie still sounds more like bobba gangah.  Speaking of surprises, Valerie said graham cracker today, well enough to be understood.

But I digress.

In Hannaford, Sadie rode in a cart.  It’s funny; she went through an “I’m a big girl and won’t ride” phase, briefly.  Now she prefers it.  Especially if there’s something different about the carts, like the green ones at Ocean State Job Lot.

In one aisle, a little boy who couldn’t have been too much older was pushing his mother’s cart.  He was so taken with Sadie, watching her instead of where he was going, he ran the cart into the shelves.  I told Sadie she was too young to be distracting the boys like that.
