What a mess. So I cleaned him<br \/>\n(sidenote: just cleaned him up a little, really, bc somehow I don&#8217;t<br \/>\ncare.&nbsp; When did I get to be like that? <img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"http:\/\/209.85.48.9\/html\/emoticons\/tongue.gif\" \/><!--endemo--><!--emo&:innocent:--><br \/>\nmostly I think, well, he&#8217;s a boy, he&#8217;s going to be a mess!&nbsp; Besides the fact that he hates me to clean him up.). So in the<br \/>\nstore, he got grumpy bc we weren&#8217;t heading to the bakery quick enough,<br \/>\nwhere he gets a free cookie, and I get 20 minutes of uniterrupted<br \/>\nshopping, until he finishes it or drops it, at which point he starts<br \/>\ngrabbing things off the shelves&#8230; So 3\/4 of the way through the store,<br \/>\nafter he&#8217;s already tried to convince me (unsuccessfully) to give him some strawberries,<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re browsing the cheese section, and he&#8217;s frantic for cheese (my<br \/>\nsweet little Wisconsin-blooded boy!!).&nbsp; So I got a package of string<br \/>\ncheese, and gave him a piece (which I was going to get anyway, I<br \/>\nthink). That placated him until we were in the checkout line. Where,<br \/>\nunbeknownst to me as I&#8217;m moving groceries to the conveyer belt, he&#8217;s grabbed a Reduced Fat 3<br \/>\nMusketeers MINT bar, gotten it open, and started chowing down <img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"innocent.gif\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"http:\/\/209.85.48.9\/10285\/125\/emo\/innocent.gif\" \/><!--endemo-->&nbsp;  Little bugger.  75cents of my coupon savings down the drain <!--emo&:P--><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"http:\/\/209.85.48.9\/html\/emoticons\/tongue.gif\" \/><!--endemo-->  So by the time we got to the car, he&#8217;s got chocolate everywhere.
