The following transcript is based on a real grocery cart conversation,
while passing the seasonal aisle. Names have not been changed.
Coco: Mommy I weally need easta eggs with amuls in dems for all my fwiends, evwyone, ok?
Me: Ok, we’ll get some plastic eggs and put toy animals in them.
Coco: NO Mommy, weal amuls
Me: I don’t think animals will like being in plastic eggs
Coco: We will put da weal baby amuls in weal eggies
Me: Sweetheart, we won’t be able to glue the shells back together after they are broken.
Coco: Den we will get weal eggs wif amuls alweady in dems, fwom da nests, in da jungle
Me: But the Mommies will cry and miss their babies
Coco: We will only take, just, only, one amul eggy
Me: I would notice if you took just one of my babies
Coco: Den, den we will take the Mommies with the babies, and I will walk dems evwy day
How can I argue with this?
And since I will be busy collecting animal eggs and their jungle mothers, it’s a good thing I already have my Personal Creations Easter baskets.
C-O-C-O is embroidered onto my animal-loving daughter’s bunny basket, while L-E-V-I is sewn into Mini-ster’s blue robot basket (which symbolically speaking already had his name all over it). And did I mention, they already come complete with all the pastel delicacies.
Which means, I can avoid the seasonal grocery aisle and it’s holiday inspired conversations.
You’re welcome, now all you have to do is pick a basket out to match your Easter Finery.

The nice thing about having names on the baskets is that kids don’t fight over them.
Coco had me at “Dem amuls” love them
i will forever die over these photos!
I love the way you put this all together. Like an old church slide film where you hear the story, see the slide, hear a little more of the story, see the slide … repeat… hehe – except in a very entertaining, hip way. : ) You are a great writer and so intelligent the way you put things together. : ) It was so fun to take these photos!
