Max's List

We have always kept a grocery list on the refrigerator.  The theory is that when you notice you are using the last of something (or god forbid getting close to the last of something) or you want something that we are already out of you write it on the list.  The truth is that more often than not I'm the one to write most of the stuff down.  When the kids first attempt to write something (like candy) on the list in beginner penmanship it has been amusing.  Never, has it purposefully been used for comic effect.  Until now...

This morning as I went to the fridge to get the butter for my toast and the milk for my latte I noticed writing on the list.  I had gone to the grocery store just a couple of days ago, I knew I hadn't started a new list yet, and the younger kids are with their dad this weekend.  

Hmmm...I wonder what Max wants from the store?

Vodka
Tequila
Strippers
Fireworks (the big illegal kind)
Happy-in-a-can
Monkeys
Midgets
Midget-Monkeys

*SNORT* Good thing I wasn't already drinking my tea...

Now I wonder how long he's been waiting for me to notice...

  1. Love it. We use a dry erase board for the same purpose, dad is usually the one to go out and get the groceries. At one point, mid list, mom wrote Money on there. The next day, the other items had been erased, but Money was still there, with dad's handwriting after it asking for "lots of it" it's still there.
