I was trying to be polite. I scooted my grocery and child filled cart as far to the right as I could, so as to let other shoppers pass by comfortably. Finally there was an opening for me to reach over across the aisle and grab the green enchilada sauce.
That's when I heard it. The loud shatter of glass hitting floor. Then came the smell. Fermented grapes.
Fabulous. My child, the slightly destructive (he gets that from me) young one had pulled a large glass bottle of wine off the shelf. A stander by gasped, Angus looked at me wide eyed, and I said "Shit," Loud.
We told the checker a clean up was needed. Instead of feeling happy that I was patient and considerate to my fellow shoppers, I left the store feeling stupid for not seeing that accident coming from a mile away.
I mean come on! Putting your nearly 2 year old within reach of breakable, shiny, bottles? What else is gonna happen?

I left my youngest unattended (I was 3 feet away) by the do-it-yourself coffee bean pourers. Yep. Beans COVERED the floor. It smelled good though. The stores should know better than to put those things so low on their walls. Freddy's puts their bulk bins up high, for that very purpose I think. :)
Oh well, that's motherhood, right? Never a dull moment and rare are the moments that aren't filled with destruction when you (we) have young kids.
I have, at that same store, caught a tipped bottled of wine before it fell off the shelf. I bet it happens a lot.
I have to say, 'Shit' is the only appropriate word to say in that situation.
