Grocery shopping with Lily is the best. I can go grocery shopping with her and be out of the store in under 5 minutes.Lily does not like to go to the grocery store. Her method for showing her intense dislike for grocery shopping includes screaming at the top of her lungs during the entire trip. Sometimes I don't have Lily with me. On such occasions, I often find myself behind a slow shopper, or perhaps stuck behind another shopper who blocks the entire aisle and refuses to move their cart out of the way to let me pass. I also find myself enjoying the silence and looking around a bit. When I have Lily with me, it's like I have a built in siren attached to my cart. People who would otherwise leave their cart in the middle of the isle are suddenly very happy to move out of my way as fast as possible. I don't even have to wait until I make it to where they are at, they can hear Lily from afar, thus moving out of my way well before I'm even close to passing them. Not only am I able to move quickly through the store, but I'm usually in such a hurry to leave the store, that I forget to buy half of the items on my grocery list. Less things to buy = less time at the store.
Thank you Lily for making my grocery trips quick. She saves me time & money. If you are interested in borrowing my siren (aka Lily) she is available. I wonder how well this would work on Black Friday?
*Word of caution: If you decide to take Lily out for a grocery spin. Please be aware that she eats fire-crackers.

Hahaha--you have the BEST sense of humor, Holly! Lily is such a cutie and I love that she clears the aisle for her mama. lol
this story is so funny, especially since I can't imagine Ella ever being loud! :)
That's hilarious. I have a nephew that loves grocery shopping so much that every time i have to take him with me, i end up with all kinds of junk food that i didn't mean to get. he'll even hide it in the cart and throw it up at the check stand to make sure it gets paid for. shopping with kids is the best.
