I plan my weekly menu (someday I'll write about the cycle) and go to the grocery store:
- once a week,
- with a list
- and (usually) NO children.
Once in a while I'm
stuck blessed with their company. That's when some impulse buys may end up in the cart. The items selected tell a bit about the requester:
- Mom: post-holiday turkey at $.49 per pound (Boring!)
- Kids: ranch wheat thins, blueberry bagels (yuck!), orange tic-tacs
- 16 year old: select ground coffee beans, wedge of romano, dark chocolate bar with almonds and dried cherries
So why is the teen more sophisticated than his mother?
