Thanks be to God, Father, Son and Spirit, for the abundance of good things he pours on His children.
We are but few, but His blessings are many.

Boot Camp stage 2 day 4

Day 4 Your mission: grocery shopping at Wal-mart. Be sure to bring the parrots, the cat, and the Potty Pal doll. Yes, you may go first thing in the morning to avoid the crowds, but you must feed and DRESS all of the animals first! (Do not forget to drink your coffee!)

In your car you will find a special car parrot, trained to say “Are we there yet?” “Where are we going?” “Is this the right way?” “Are we getting closer?” “Can we go over Seth's favorite bridge?” “Why are you driving so slow/fast?” “Can we go to Chuck E Cheeses?” and the like. Respond to this parrot and the others, and continue to break up fights as you drive.

When you get to Wal-mart, go to customer service and request that they page you every 5-7 minutes throughout your trip to the store. Report to the customer service desk each time to wipe noses, give drinks, answer nonsense questions, and change diapers. This mission will help you get used to doing things at “toddler speed,” which tends to be inefficient and take at least 5 times longer than normal speed.

Be sure to keep the other animals in line during your shopping trip. Oh, and when you hear “MY have you got your hands full!” be sure to just smile politely. And if you are asked “Oh how sweet! Are they all YOURS?” please remember your manners! Your grandkids are watching!
