I believe I could use some lessons in menacing grimaces.... I am surprised you say this. Don't you remember telling us about 'the goats with no horns'? Just pretend you have been de-horned. Make faces at the little runts. The worst thing they could do is head-butt you.

I have been pondering Mommy Carts vs. Daddy Carts. Daddy Carts are tall and shallow, and are laid out in multiples of the Standard Six-pack Rectangle. They have two shelves above the bin - a low one for Much Meat, and a high one (NO leg holes) for protecting the Sour Cream&Onion potato chips from collisional degradation with the heavier items in the hold. The wheelframe has two partitions that are sized Just Right for two big bags of dog food, lawn chemicals or flats of motor oil. Daddy Carts have a fold-down front gate to make a semi-comfy seat for slagging off in the Car and Power Tool Magazine Section while Mommy does the rest of it. Mommy Carts are big, deep and will hold REAL groceries ... enough for the family for a week. They have leg holes up front, cuz guess who gets to juggle Junior along with $250 worth of indispensable foodstuffs. The wheelframe is sized to hold mega-paks of detergent and paper products on rolls. A calculator and cell-phone repeater are built into the handle, as is a Page Daddy button, which goes to a loudspeaker in the Car and Power Tool Magazines Section. Baby carts are strictly intended as nearly unbreakable obstructions - speed bumps to keep Mommy and Daddy Consumer in the aisles as long as possible. After the first rule of seeling weird food is: Make sure they have a long time where all they can do is see it. Taking some off the shelf is the only way to break the monotony.
