Baby Monkey and I hit the pharmacy on our way home today.
Normally, when we go to the pharmacy, the little guy is face to face with the candy counter, as we wait.
Now, that alone has always intrigued me.
Wouldn’t you think they would sell fruits and veggies at a pharmacy?
Encourage health?
But then, I guess they’d be out of business if everyone was healthy.
I digress.
Anywho…
On the way to the pharmacy, Baby Monkey was saying that they have a lot of Berenstain Bears books at Pre-K.
I mentioned that we have a lot of them, too.
He said he loved them and wished the library would re-open so we could get more.
I said, “Um, the pharmacy sells Berenstain Bear books.”
“WHAT???”
I said, again, “The pharmacy sells Berenstain Bear books.”
The kid was dumbfounded.
He had never ventured past the candy and the toys to notice the book racks.
So, I waited in line, he picked a book, we paid and left.
On the way out the door, he turned to me, book in hand and said, “Mommy…books are WAY better than candy.”
Ahhhh….
