My wife’s
first trip to the grocery store was nothing short of entertaining, hilarious
and disastrous. I will never forget when
I walked into our house after her first trip to the store. I walked into our kitchen to find cocoa
puffs, captain crunch, and a full spread of toppings for an ice cream
sundae. I looked puzzled at first since
my wife is way more of a “salt” person as opposed to a “sweets” person, and
then I looked at her and she just shrugged.
She went on to explain how she came home with what was on the
counter. 
Upon her
entrance into our local Stop and Shop, my wife was certainly not expecting her
reaction to be what it was. She had
every intention of going in there to get us some of our usual groceries for the
week. We typically eat healthy during
the week and splurge on the weekends, however, things were about to change
instantly. She described her entering
into the produce section and it smelled like a combination of “stale buttery
popcorn, sweaty feet, and vomit”. She
had to choke back the reflex to gag and vomit.
After the first few inhales of this stench, she made the conscious
decision to grab the fastest things that appealed to her. Those were as I mentioned before, sugar
cereal and ice cream sundaes. Upon
putting these few things in her cart, she preceded to beeline it out of the
store and into “fresh” air.
For someone
like me who has a crazy sweet tooth, her purchases at the store were welcomed
happily. I knew at that point I would be
doing the grocery shopping for a little while unless I wanted to end up with
diabetes or eating pickles, peanut butter and ice cream for dinner!
