I’m Laughing at You

August 29, 2008

You, Mr. Impatient, tapping your hands at the wheel as your signal light incessently blinks off and on. That glowering stare of yours won’t make me move out of a coveted, first-aisle parking space in the Trader Joe’s lot any faster. Because, (just in case you haven’t noticed), I have two children yet to be strapped into their carseats, along with a cart full of groceries that still needs unloading. And, would you look at that. I had forgotten to take out the double stroller and then some.


I totally took this picture while homeboy was waiting.
I’m totally kidding.

Yikes, I accidentally pinched baby Dax’s chin with his seat buckle! I’m set back another minute. Yet, you still wait. And stare. And have a million cars zoom around you to snap up other open spaces.

On to kid #2. You finally leave. Oh, but now you’re replaced by another dummkopf.

On a more reverent note, the auction for the Nielson family is still going on! Latest bid is $85. Update: it’s now at $100! Jump right in. You know you want some silhouette-goodness.

    It’s nice to have a little added stress to the already fun moment of unloading and loading into the car. (Thanks Mr. Impatient.) Poor little Dax’s chin. This was a funny post.

    Thanks for a good laugh. I thought it was a given to never wait for a mother of two. Not a wise man.

    You would think he had never been to a grocery store! Doesn’t he know that two children and groceries take a while. I hope he ended up getting a last row spot and a Mommy got your front row Joe!

    Thanks for making me smile today!

    Oh my goodness! I’ve so been there! Some people just don’t get it. I hate it when people stare at my child throwing a tantrum like they’ve never seen one before! I feel like all mother with small children should carry around an entitlement card that give them a free pass and entitles them to everything.
    Thanks you very much. Have a nice day!

    I’ve so been there-kids, groceries, car seats, and some guy’s flashing blinker!

    PS- I’m still chuckling to myself. You used the word dummkopf. Hehe…

    Ha ha ha, this is so, so true. What IS with these people?

    I thought I was the only one this used to happen to.

    Mine are teens but I still need a sign that says “DON’T GET BEHIND ME”
