Shopping Entertainment

Today after work & school I took Little Man to the grocery store with me. It was a pretty long trip as the cupboard was bare, and he was a never ending source of entertainment. He talks constantly, but here are a few of the highlights.

At one point I said something about the store being too big (they recently expanded and are still renovating). About 10 minutes later I said, "This store is confusing to me." Little Man said, "This store too big. It's confusing Little Man. It's confusing bananas."

Later a man started talking to him.
Man: Hey Buddy, how you doin'?
Little Man: I go shopping.
Man: I see that, are you buying anything special?
LM: I'm eating pretzel fish.
It's true, he was. I don't know why this amused me so much. Maybe because he didn't hesitate at all or use me as a safety blanket, he just had a chat.

More evidence that he's a genius: They had balloons at the cash registers, and he was naming all the balloons he saw. Fishie, Alligator, Lion. Then he saw a shark balloon and he called it a "dinosaur fish." I think that's a pretty good way of describing a shark, if you don't know what it's called.

Since he was so good at the store he got lemonade as a treat when we got home. As soon as we got in the house he started jumping up and down, yelling, "Memonade! Memonade! Memonade!"

And he has a new music favorite. T. made a blues station on Pandora (it's like an online radio station where you can put in artists you like, and they'll play similar artists). It's a lot of old blues, which gets a head-bob from Little Man, but then "Bad Moon Rising" came on and he could not contain himself. He jumped and danced and spun the whole song.
