If you take a teen to the grocery store ...

If you take a teen to the grocery store, poof! magical things happen:

~Pop Tarts, sour popsicles, and strawberry soda poof! appear in your cart.

~Things like broccoli, lettuce, whole grains poof! disappear out of your cart.

~Cereals transform: Cheerios turn into Frosted Flakes 

and Raisin Bran into Cocoa Krispies. poof! poof!

If you take a teen to the grocery store, it won’t be a quick trip.

~You will be distracted.

~Your grocery list will no longer mean anything; in fact, poof! it disappears.

~You will say no and put it down countless times.

If you take a teen to the grocery store, he will find hidden treasures.

~Like these, nestled between the candy bars in the check-out lane.
One for him, one for me.

And I am thinking ...

If you take a teen to the grocery store,

you'll be so glad you did.
