A child who refuses to ride in a cart is frustrating. Despite having radar and being able to spot every candy/toy within a 20ft radius, Hayden is also a wanderer. He doesn't really pay attention to what's going on around him. For his sake, I should keep in mind that Walmart is probably heaven to him. Toys upon toys and more candy than he can imagine. However, when you're in a hurry, that doesn't really matter. On one particular day, Hayden was being quite the little ray of sunshine and all I wanted to do was leave. To speed things up, Matt picked Hayden up and walked to the cash with him so we could pay. Well, apparently Hayden wasn't done "shopping" and didn't want any part of Matt carrying him. While squirming around with no success, Hayden decided he was going to do what he does best. Yell. After repeatedly saying, PUT ME DOWN, Hayden stops, looks at Matt and calls him a dork. When a 3yr old calls you a dork, it's really funny. Both Matt and the cashier started giggling. I just kept pretending he wasn't my child. Don't even lie, you know you've done it too. Hayden was obviously upset that he was being laughed at because he looks Matt right in the face and says "Oh, you think you're funny eh?!!?". An adult statement coming out of a 3yr olds mouth is hilarious. At that moment, it didn't matter to anyone around that he had been the devil 10 seconds prior to that statement. Anyone within earshot was laughing. I was okay with him being my son again....lol
