writes '999 Island' on the grocery list

Wife: What is this?

Me: Just get the closest thing you can find.

As I was heading out with a grocery list:

wife: "Also - more English muffins."

me: "How much more English should they be?"

Being the forgetful dad that I am, I wrote a few items I needed from the local convenience store on my hand so I wouldn't forget what all I needed. The young girl at the check out counter saw the list and said, "Nice list there, I do that all the time too." I replied, "yeah you could say its pretty handy."

Story time:

So over the holiday, while visiting my mom, she asked me to run and pick up some groceries she had on her shopping list. So of course, I pack up my kids and we are off to the store. As I am perusing the juice aisle, my daughter squeals, "ELSA!!!!" Sure enough, there was Elsa, on the label of a bottle of apple juice. I thought, "Apple juice is on the list and it will make my daughter happy? Boom getting it!" Fast forward to putting groceries away at my mom's house.

Mom: "Did you get everything on my list?"

Me: "Yes mom."

Mom: as I am handing her the Elsa apple juice "Oh I wanted you to get the frozen apple juice"

Me: my face shifting from a look of irritation to a stupid-cheesy smirk "That IS Frozen apple juice..."

Mom: fighting the urge to smack me while rolling her eyes "OMG."

My girlfriend and I were shopping for groceries for my place at whole foods yesterday and she was reading a list of things to buy. In the middle of the list was "Fungi". "Fungi? You mean mushrooms?" I asked. "No, we need fungi. Wait, we don't have to buy it. I have Chinese fungi at my place" she replied. "Hmmm. I don't like that you have a Chinese fungi at your place" "Why?!" "Well, how would YOU like it if I had a Chinese fun girl at my place?"

She laughed out loud. She's a keeper.

We were in the meat section of food world, picking up some food for dinner.

I ask, "what's the cheapest meat you can buy?"

He looks up from the grocery list and says, "I don't know?"

"Deer testicles. They're under a buck."

He audibly groaned and was not amused. Needless to say, I think I'll be doing the grocery shopping on my own for a little while.

My wife and I have been watching The Walking Dead lately and while grocery shopping the other night, she said :

"Sometimes I make mental lists in my head on what I would need if there was ever an apocalypse. Is that weird?"

I replied with, "not at all. I have some too. They're my apocalists"

I thought the apocalypse had begun after the way she rolled her eyes at that one.

Me: "Oh yeah, I need to put toothpaste on the grocery list."

Dad: "Don't do that! It'll be all messy!"

In the produce section, checking off grocery list.

wife: "What's next?"

me: "Leeks. You know, there's a really useful but very controversial website about that vegetable. You can edit it-"

wife: "No. Nope, I'm not letting you finish this one."

me, whispering to myself: wikileeks

The the whole family (my mom, dad, and two sisters) are sitting in the living room and my mom asked me to pick up some ingredients from the grocery store. She starts listing them out loud, "I'll need heavy cream, eggs, milk-"

At which point I interrupt to ask what size eggs she needs (i.e. AA etc.) and she responds "It doesn't matter just make sure they're large - oh and cage free"

My dad immediately came back, "Cage-fee? What are you worried about - that the cake will get away?"

My dad immediately does his troll grin and my mother looks at him with a years practiced look of "how did you ever trick me into marrying you"

Naturally this was followed by my nine year old sisters falling apart into giggles, and eventually me too. My mother looks at us like she's thinking to herself "They must have switched all three of my babies at the hospital" before looking up at the ceiling and saying, "I guess I'll write a list..."

So one day I was in the grocery store, and when I went to check out there was a lady with a lot of items in her cart. She offered that I go in front, but I declined. After all of her groceries were checked out she walked off to her car. When I went to pay for my groceries it had her items on my list to pay. I looked at the cashier and she said that the lady said I was her son and was going to pay for everything. I explained the situation, and the bag boy and I ran out to stop the lady. When she saw us she started running to her car, so we chased her. When she got in her car we grabbed the door and started pulling her leg. Like I am doing to you.
