You shop. I'll play.  |
| |
| When I go food shopping with my wife I am invariably told at the supermarket door that I can "go and play". This is her way of telling me that appreciated though I am she would rather shop without a 50 year old child running amok down the aisles. Throwing things we don't need into the trolley/cart and, at this time of year, frightening the real children by donning a Halloween mask and making silly noises. So I go and look at all the technological wizardry on display. Fiddle with the CDs, watch some TV (about the only time that I do), if I've got a few pennies I'll buy a cup of tea, open and close washing/dishwashing machine doors and be a general nuisance. After 20 minutes or so I then set off through the store trying to find my beloved. This is a principal form of aerobic exercise for me, coupled with loud sniffs and sobs as I realise that she just HAS to have left without me. Then I see her, my heart resumes it's normal pace and I get told off for sticking that bar of choccy in the cart that my waist really does not need. So here is my plea to Supermarket owning myLotters. Please install an adult creche. Let's have a ball park, a "take something technical apart" bit, perhaps. If we must, a newspaper or two and a TV. An Xbox or similar would be good. Then our shopping wives would know just where to find us and could come and take us way when they've finished their shopping - perhaps via the check out so that we can pay and be brought back down to earth! | | | | | |

| | LOL. Were we married to each other? LOL. I'm not a bad shopper on my own. I spot the bargains better apparently. But together I regress to a child like state. I would stay at home and sometimes do. But she doesn't drive and we've usually given the chauffeur the day of so I have to take her. She does get a taxi home sometimes if she shops in town. | | | |

| | I aim to please Gabs. But why not? Look at the faces of the men as they shop. Do they look like they are having a good time? Do the women for that matter! I used to go to department stores with The Boss whilst she went shopping for clothes etc. I used to go and wait in the appropriate place - the lingerie - but it ruined my complexion. I kept getting my face slapped. I didn't know that I was NOT supposed to linger there. Wondered why there were always half dressed women about. I thought that it was to entertain the men! (and if you believe that...) | | | |

| | ha ha hilarious!!! I can just imagine all the trouble you get into!! As you say, Boss probably enjoys not having you running amok, she wants to focus on what she needs so that she can get out and go home before the frozen stuff defrosts!! Maybe supermarkets should have seats that fasten you in (so that you cant escape and wonder off) and you have to stay their doing nothing until she has paid (bit like a naughty seat but obviously you dont have to be naughty to sit there!! lol) Having a creche would be good, but to have an adult creche that is just too much to cope with!!! | | | | | | |

| | You could be the creche supervisor Cinders. No? A large child seat might be one option although I have sometimes been told to keep one hand on the trolley so that she knows where I am. But that gives me some range still. One of my favourite tricks is to take her by the arm, lift her slightly and then run us down the aisle. Even she laughs at that! Do they do that in Sheffield supermarkets? If not I must get up there and demonstrate! | | | |

| | *LOL* oh, pikey, you are a big child, aren't you? coupled with loud sniffs and sobs as I realise that she just HAS to have left without me. Then I see her, my heart resumes it's normal pace Now this sounds like hubby. He says he gets scared when he realizes no adults are around. Meaning he has wondered off and can't find me anywhere. Men are such little boys, sometimes.*L* You may just have a good idea though. If there was one place for the guys to go to do all the things they wander around the store doing, it would make the wives jobs finding them a lot easier. | | | | | | |

| | haha. Well, maybe they should have some activity for you there -- you at least need a videogame or something in there, right? I prefer to shop alone myself. I have a friend I shop with sometimes, and I don't even really like having her along. She likes to criticize my shopping choices, lol, and really -- if I want someone's input, I'll ask for it. She isn't eating it or paying for it after all! But as for the chocolate -- can't blame you for slipping that in there, little boy! | | | | | | |

| | At most of our local Walmarts, you could take a book or paper and part at the McDonalds until she comes to collect you | | | | | | |

| | well, these aren't normal mcdonald's. they are store fronts and they would allow you to sit at a table, drink a cuppa joe and read the paper they are not your normal mickie d's, no playground, it doesn't have the normal kiddie traffic because its more of a grab and go place. | | | |
