thank you for shopping

I began the arduous task of cleaning our closet today. We don't have much closet space in this house, and the big walk-in closet in the master bedroom has to serve as storage for clothing for David and me, hiking gear, scuba gear, luggage, bedding, purses, shoes, party/holiday supplies... I attempted an excavation today so that I can get the scuba gear in there, and Dennis wandered in to see what I was doing. He discovered some Mardi Gras doubloons (big metal coins) and must have thought he'd discovered big money. He counted the coins and then said "want to go shopping Mommy" and then " get shopping cart". I followed him to the living room, where he had procured a Wal-Mart receipt. He pushed his shopping cart up to the couch, counted out his coins (out loud), grabbed the receipt, and said "Thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart". When we actually did have to go to Wal-Mart, he wasn't all that excited about the process until I picked up a new Elmo DVD. He hugged it all the way through the store.
