Good Times with Aunt Beth

So Aunt Beth invited Jeremy, Riley and Deanna to come play, and then for Riley and Deanna to spend the night at her home, but first they had to stop at the grocery store to pick up pizza and junk food (neccessities of all good slumber parties).

At the store:

Aunt Beth:  Someone has to watch Jeremy.

Deanna and Riley in unison:  Not it!

All three children ran is separate directions.

So they put Jeremy in on of those race car shopping carts and Riley wants to ride in the car too!  Which was fine until they were in the checkout line and Riley was stuck!  Aunt Beth needed Jeremy to get out first so Riley would have room to negotiate himself out.

Aunt Beth:  Jeremy get out of the car so Riley can get out.

Jeremy:  NOOOOO!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aunt Beth got Jermy out and put him in the shopping cart. 
Jeremy climbed on top of the car part of the cart.

Beth asked me later, "Is this what its like everytime you go shopping?"
My reply, "No, I also have a 6 month old."

On the car ride home the children wanted to play slug bug.  Aunt Beth said OK, but no hitting the driver.  Riley thought that wasn't a good rule, but Deanna understood that it was for safety reasons.

Aunt Beth:  You could hit me and break the knobby thing off my arm bone like Aunt Margaret.

Riley:  Oh yeah, I am pretty strong.

Deanna:  Yeah, and Aunt Beth is pretty old.

Poor Aunt Beth.  I wonder if she will be inviting the children over again any time soon.
