Verbal expedition

Quote from this morning before we went to Publix -
"Mama, you were on the phone with Mrs. Tutti for a long, long, long, long time. You were on the phone with her for about 100 miles!"

Quote in Publix -
Samuel -"Mama do they put those doors on the milk so that bad robbers don't take it?"
Mama - "No, that is so the milk stays cold."
Samuel - "But why does it have to stay cold? Will it decay?"
.......


Today I was home sick because I had a fever. I was fine after my fever broke this morning and we headed on an adventure to Publix. I like going to Publix because they have car carts and they give Lucy and me free cookies. I even met a friend. Here is a conversation I had with the little boy (he was in his cart with his daddy and I was in my car cart with Lucy and Mama. We kept running into each other - I think Mama was trying not to)

in the deli section - to the little boy in the bakery section
"MAMA - THERE IS ANOTHER LITTLE BOY!!!!!!!"
Hey boy, what is your name?" (no response)

-Mama said, "Samuel, not so loud, buddy."

Later in the produce section getting bananas-
"Hey little boy, what is our name?" (no response)
"My name is Samuel, this is my little sister Lucy." (only a muffled response came)
"Can you talk louder? Does your throat hurt?"
"What are you going to be for Halloween? I am going to be a fire fighter man and my little sister is going to be a fire dog."

- mama told me not to talk so loud but i can't hear her, my ears are as clogged as can be-

a little later on the cereal aisle (Mama finally let me get the sunshine cereal I've been wanting - Raisin Bran)-
"Hey boy, what is your name?" (no response)
"What are you going to be for Halloween? ("I'm going to be Thomas", said the not so loquacious little boy)
"OH! you aren't shy! you can talk! SO, what is your name?" (no response)

On the dairy aisle -
"Hey Mommy, he likes cheese too - see, he has cheese!"
"Little boy, do you like cheese?"
Can you speak up, I think your shy?

Mama was gently reminding me to talk softly and be kind. It is so hard! Mama says it's because I'm locquacious - I told her it was because I am Samuel.
