A solution to a shopping dilemma or Not that one, get that one…

The other day, I had a dilemma while shopping.  It wasn’t a medical dilemma, or one about which brand of feminine hygiene product to purchase.  Had nothing to do with milk choices, cereal choices or anything like that which the stay at home dad has had to purchase before.  Nope it was facial scrub. Remember?  Yeah, I see the light come on.  You have had that experience yourself haven’t you? At the store that day, I remember seeing this lady holding her phone up to the razors.  She was talking to it at the same time, and every once in a while I heard this guy say “not that one…” How clever is that?  Do you see it?  Yeah, I didn’t at first either.  She was videoing the choices and showing them to her husband.  Even though he wasn’t there, he could still pick out his own razor.  Oh yeah!…

oh the dilemma — honey can you get me?

So.  I went shopping.  For the record, this stay at home dad really doesn’t like shopping.  Give me a list, and I will go buying.   Nope.     Had to go shopping, which was not my intent when I first got to the store. Items on the list:   Facial Scrub Suave Children’s Body Wash Spring Valley Probiotic Acidophilus There were quite a few items on the list, but none so difficult to find as that facial scrub.   I found the second two items. No problems.  Do you know why?  Hint:  Name Brand… Item number one?  Wouldn’t you know I spent almost half an hour in that aisle and brought home the wrong thing?   Mom’s – a tip.  If you send your stay at home dad to the store, include pictures.  At the very least, ensure that you either have a brand name, or show him the
