A good laugh

One of my favorite anecdotes from this book, "How to know whether or not you are ready to have kids," starts off with the Grocery Store Test which advises you to take two small animals (they recommend goats) with you as you shop and to "Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage." This is a really enjoyable read for parents. It was especially enjoyable for me because my kids are all in college or otherwise grown and out of the house so I read this, laughed, and pictured my oldest son, recently married, perhaps going through this himself in a couple of years. If your kids are still young and you read this book, remember that poetic justice will prevail and their kids will be at least as picky about their food as yours are.
