The Incident

Do you know what happens when you shop for too long after you picked out a can of cinnamon rolls and then drop it while checking out? It may just explode a minute or two after you put it on the conveyor, striking one of your children in the forehead.

At first I didn’t know what happened – we were just finishing putting our cart full of groceries up there and I saw what looked like a wad of masking tape flying through the air just as a metal disc hit my daughter T~ in the forehead. I’m like what the heck was that??? Then I spotted the top of the can on the floor. I looked at the magazine rack and there were two of the rolls stuck in the rack. OMG – T~ and I laughed our butts off. Her face was beat red, but she was laughing. I thought some one had thrown something at us at first. In the can’s defense, it had been dropped twice- once by G~ and once by me upon checkout. I was really looking forward to eating them later this week (I’m still on my diet – they’re reduced fat and the kids don’t know the difference). Dang it.
