I have three boys, so I can relate. Alas, we homeschool, so to avoid shopping when I'm dog tired, another budget no-no, all three routinely go with me in the morning. What keeps us sane? The promise of cookies or another yummy snack at the end. This has only had to be revoked a few times due to poor behavior or begging. Finally, the older ones are able to actually help me out from time to time. Too funny. I have three boys, so I can relate.

I am a NASCAR (it's an acronym) fan too, but I am grown up enough not to scream Budweiser every time I pass the aisle (I like Dale Jr.) -- actually, I don't drink Bud. I am so glad they took away cigarette commercials seeing the type of influence our media has on children even as young as 4 years old. Good post, and thanks for sharing.
