Lesson Learned

When you go to Target with a 2 year old and a 4 year old and have a long list of items to get, one of which is swimming noodles: do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT get the swimming noodles first!

WTF was I thinking? We were the laughing stock of Target. First both boys (Miles walking, Jack in the cart) went around with them straight up on their head, so they were 9 feet tall or so. Everyone that saw them was cracking up. Plus there's me in the background going, "If you hit someone, they'll go away." Needless to say they got taken away and fits ensued.

Eventually Miles earned his back and then proceeded to walk around with it between his legs, like it was a huge wang, wobbling back and forth. Target employees were laughing maniacally and getting their friends to come and see him. All I could say was "That's my boy!" One of them told me he'd be popular with the ladies some day. He was completely oblivious to the fact that it looked like he had a giant dick, and walked around all proud because people were laughing at him.

Meanwhile Jack screamed his head off.

I bought the noodles but they are not allowed to use them the next time we go to the pool.

Worst, but most hilarious, trip to Target ever.
