Saturday
Eden has been back since Wednesday and she and Honor have quickly fallen back into their usual routine of thoroughly enjoying misbehaving in each others company. Yesterday we were at Kmart picking up some chairs to go with my new table for the shop. (I had to buy chairs at Kmart because Target failed me!!! I’m so devastated that I can’t talk about it… oh, Target!) We were up front checking out when Eden climbed up on the side of the cart and pulled the whole thing, with a chair in it, down on top of her. Honor was in the cart and was not buckled because, of course, there was no buckle, so he took a tumble too.
The clerk came flying over the counter as I quickly grabbed the cart and the chair and threw them out of the way. The kids were very scared but escaped with some minor bumps and bruises. It took me several minutes to stop shaking! That was scary and could have been much worse. When we got back in the car, Eden and I had a good talk about why it’s important to obey your mom when she tells you not to do things like climb on the side of the cart.

Oh Eden! So glad everyone is OK (including you). I would have been a mess!

I’m glad they’re both ok! You did better than I would have–my first reaction would be “What were you thinking!” The cry of many a parent before me, I must say.
So glad they’re ok!

Oh, you poor thing, I can totally imagine how scary that must’ve been for you! Glad to hear that the kids are okay. XOXO

oh my gosh that would scare the crap out of me! My brother used to work at City Market and he said he saw a Dad in the store with a little kid (maybe 2 or 3 yrs old) sitting in the back of the basket, not in the front seat. Anyways, the kid decided to stand up, lost his balance and flipped over backward and landed on his head on the concrete floor. My brother said it made the most stomach sickening sound that he thought for sure the kid was dead. Lucky for him, he survived just fine with only a big egg on his head. UGH…I guess that is why they say “Kids bounce” ??!!

So glad to hear everyone was allright! Kids’ only saving grace is that they are made of rubber, and thank goodness for that!
