My mom knew the grocery store was a place where a 4-year-old child could easily get bored and frustrated while sitting in the shopping cart. When I was about 4 years old, she would play a game in the grocery store with me called "I Spy" to keep me from getting bored while shopping and to test my knowledge on colors, shapes, or certain food items.
The game would start with my mom saying, "I spy something green and round."
I would instinctively react by looking for an item that met her description. When I spotted what I thought she was describing, I would point to the item. She would then tell me if I was correct or not.
When I would look around the store at other kids being wheeled around in shopping carts, they looked miserable and ready to go home. My mom knew how to make going to the grocery store fun, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for those other kids my age who didn't have a mom like mine.
