We love Costco. Whenever we go, we always get some pizza. Will loves it. He doesn't eat much so when he likes something I am all over it. Not too long, like 5 minutes, after we start eating Kiki has to eat. I scarf whatever I was working on and book it out to the car so I can feed her.
The other day this played out. I haul ass to the car, in the rain, climb in, and feed her. James and Will come 2 minutes later and start unloading sopping wet groceries. Wherever we go where shopping carts are available I insist on parking next to a cart return. This day was no exception and wouldn't you know, the cart returner was there when James was unloading. He helped unload the cart and chatted it up with Will and James. I could tell they were all having a blast.
When everything was put away James put Will in the driver seat next to me. He told me he really needed to pee. I quickly analyzed the situation and figured I could handle everybody lose in the car while he went back inside to pee. So, I sent him off. It got crazy real fast. First, Keely barfed on me like she hasn't barfed on me in a loooong time. It was nasty. As I am fishing out napkins from the glove box to clean up, paying no attention to Will, he dumps a cup of lemonade all over the drivers seat. I fish for more napkins. I am panicky now because James hates sticky messes, he already thinks my awesome car is a financial lost cause and I am freaked the lemonade will short circuit the motor which makes the seat heat up. I am cleaning all this mess up, boobs out because I haven't had a second to put them away and Will does a stomach honk. This is where he leans on the steering wheel, his stomach right up to the horn and lets his weight honk the horn. They are usually long(ish) honks because he isn't expecting it and it takes him a second to realize its him honking. Who should be walking by but cart return dude. He thinks we are trying to get his attention from the excessive honking. I just slump down, smile and wave. Mortified.
James returns and things go back to slightly normal. The car parked directly in front of us gets its driver back. A Costco employee. Who sits in his car staring at us while I finish feeding Keely. Must have been the best work break for him, ever. Gotta love those Costco trips!
