A Note to Parents with Young Children

Some grocery stores I frequent have miniature carts that children push around while they pretend to shop. I discourage the use of those carts in the strongest terms. Grocery shopping time is just that, it's not play time, or make believe time. Mommy or Daddy may like to think they are having quality time with their child (who just minutes before was picked up from the day care center they were shoveled off to that morning) but a busy grocery store is not the place. It's the same logic why we don't let children drive miniature cars down the street. Children are not very smart and tend to make bad decisions. They still have child seats on regular grocery carts, I suggest they be put to use.
