What am I supposed to do if the groceries get to the end? How??? I am eight, and I have no money,” another explained.

“My mom did this the other way around. Whenever she’d forgotten something, she just sent me to grab it,” a third person replied. Finally, someone joked, “Nope, that’s the wrong marmalade. Bring the one with the blonde farmer on the sticker.”
