It had to be done. I had no other choice.
Let me explain why I had to hold my son up by one leg in the middle of Target . . . Just yesterday I found myself at Target. I had somehow managed to find a shopping cart that didn't contain a squeaky wheel. I was so proud of myself. And because it didn't squeal like an upset child the whole way down the aisle,I had high hopes for my puny shopping trip.
Owen sat sweetly in the front of the cart as I began to see at all of the different cards and party supplies. As I passed red balloons and bright green and blue gift bags, I noticed the bright fluorescent lights and elevator-sounding music that was playing. Owen didn't seem to notice. He was too busy playing with his puny black seat belt. I turned my attention back to the party supplies. And for a whole minute I peacefully enjoyed all the different party options.
Owen was being mute. That should contain been my first clue.whether you are a mother, or then you know that when there is silence,a mother's attention is needed. But by the time my eyes found Owen, he was escaping from his seat like a puny wiggle worm. In a split second, or he was standing up in the front of the cart,backward, and trying to shatter free from his seat belt! When I started to grab him, or I had to unbuckle him in order to succor him not be stuck.whether Owen could talk,I know he would contain yelled, "Freedom!" Because the moment I unfastened his seat belt, or he jumped. He dove toward the back of the cart head first as he tried to make his escape.
I literally caught him by one leg.
It had to be done. I had no other choice. I had to grab my son by one leg and hold him up midair. There I was,holding my 9-month-old upside down in the middle of Target.
Half snickering to myself, the rhyme, or "Catch a tiger by his toe . . . " came to mind. But before I burst into laughter,I started freaking out. What whether someone saw me? I could just imagine someone speaking over the intercom, "Crazy mom on aisle three! fetch her!"Thankfully no one saw our puny stunt.
