i like mashed potatos

Well I am throwing out one of my rules with this one and crossing a boundary that I really didn't want to cross.

But what the hell? These people don't read anything here anyway.

I took my sister to the grocery. I had to take her because of the weeks of bad weather we've had and she won't go out in it on her own.

She might be of a different mind about that if it was the first of the month.

Anyway she had a shopping list for our mom and I had a list of my own.

We went our seperate ways upon entering the store. I zip through the supermarket, check out and go. She talks to as many people as she can and reads all labels.

Anyway as I was checking out she came by and asked where the ready made mashed potatos were. I told her and also added that she could get any flavor as mom and I aren't picky eaters.

I carried my few items out to the truck and looked at some pictures while I waited. In a short while she joined me and off to home we went.

Well after carrying my stuff in I went back out for her items. Most everything gets carried up a flight or two of stairs, that is one of the negatives of living at our house.

When I started putting things away I was shocked to find that she had bought THREE tubs of mashed potatos!

That's FOUR POUNDS for two people.

I am eating mashed potatos every day this week.

I would like to write an explanation for her picking up four pounds of mashed potatos for us but I can't. All I can say is that mistakes are made when you don't think things through and this sort of thing happens all the time around here.
