Maybe I shop too much...
I was in the car today, toting my trio around on my errands with me (they are off today and tomorrow for teacher conferences). I was talking to them and list the the places we have to go and they were asking me what we were going to get at each place.
One of the places we had to go was Target and I had to get shampoo and conditioner. This started a whole discussion of where in the store the shampoo was. One daughter said, "oh, it's by the door". Then my son said, "no, not at Target. Shampoo is by the door at Walmart." The first daughter said, "not at this Walmart" (as we were passing one of the two Walmarts in Roseville). The my son said, "No. At the Walmart with all the food in it". Meanwhile, I was in the front seat trying not to laugh too hard at their very serious and in-depth discussion. One thing I can say is, yes, I have taken them everywhere with me from the time their doctor released them from their preemie winter quarantine at 10 months old. They love to go with me everywhere, and the result is that they are very good stores. But maybe the fact that my kids can describe the stores' floorplans in detail indicates that I do go shopping quite a bit...LOL! 5 comments from 5 users

I only have one kid, but I swear probably 70% of her memories so far take place at a Target. :)
