Aww - It's Barrels!

Julia is so freaking cute. We have been "searching" for Disney Princess and or Barbie cereal. I use the term loosely, because I have not been looking for it...Julia has. I don't have the heart to tell her that they don't make the Disney Princess cereal anymore. Whenever we go to the store, I tell her to "Keep her eyes open, maybe she'll see it." I am sure that this is going to harm her for life, but it keeps her busy.

So, tonight after dinner we had to run to the store to get a few things and I took her with me. The store we went to is a higher end type store that i only buy our meats, bakery stuff and the occasional off the wall item. They have it all. Anyway, they have little carts for the kids to push around and Julia gets a kick out of it. So, she's tearing around the store...saying these weird things like she's a little adult. She's got on a little pink fleece outfit and her down vest (she has to have the hip mom look). Anyway, she goes down the cereal aisle...checks all the varieties out, doesn't find what she's looking for. Dejected, we go through to check out. She puts all of the stuff on the belt, tells the man in front of us in line that she is 3 and will be 4 in a few days and then she'll be 5. This particular store has free suckers for kids (and mommies too) and she asks if she can have one (I am doing something right). She reaches in and pulls one out - it's Root Beer (my favorite) and she yells out "Aw, man - it's Barrels!" The 18 year old checker snorted and said he would now always refer to root beer dumdums as "Barrels", as will I.
