One for the stupid is as stupid does category.

Picked up my grandson yesterday morning. The market was already open. I can not get on the computer, or
his little face asks if we can watch dinosaurs. He is dinosaur nuts, and knows most of their names. I try to
save dinosaurs until before nap so it isn't so hard to control how long he watches. Besides, I think he had
more fun picking corn, squash, and peppers in the garden. I do not have the ability to turn down his requests.

I wait until grandma takes him potty. TIS is 27.68 bid, 27.76 ask. I quickly figure out how many shares I have
cash for, 35. I enter an order @ 27.70 instead of what I should have done, just hit the ask. I compound my
error by not entering the order AON. I quickly get off the computer as my grandson comes running out of the
bathroom. You can guess the rest, but here it is:

09/01/2016 10:39:52 Bought 1 TIS @ 27.7 -35.70

My only consolation is that I have something to show for it, unlike the $10 bucket of popcorn at the movies later in the day.
