Pop culture clash...

I try to time my day so that I do my errands, such as grocery shopping, when the older two are in school. It's just so much easier to only have one child asking for every third thing they see on the shelves. Actually, with Lila it isn't so much that she's asking for things as it is that she is asking about things. She thinks it's hilarious to make me name every single product as we go down the aisle. But if I try to turn it around and ask her what something is, she just shrugs and says, "Don't know."

Today we were in the soda aisle (because in this house Mt. Dew is as much of a staple as bread, milk and eggs) and while I was putting something in the cart, Lila was staring intently at the floor where there was a vinyl advertisement for the start of the upcoming NFL season. She got very excited and yelled, "Look Mom! It's an Angry Bird!"

It's a good thing she didn't say, "Look Mom! It's My Little Pony!" or her dad would be really upset...
