It was a typical afternoon at the grocery store, or so I thought. The aisles were bustling, and I was on a mission to grab the last avocado of the week. Little did I know, this routine shopping trip would turn into an epic battle of wills.

Shopping Mode

I was in my casual shopping attire, looking chic and comfortable. I had my cart filled with the usual staples—milk, bread, and a few fruits and veggies. My eye caught sight of the avocado display, and there it was: the last avocado - it was slightly less round than a normal one, which I thought would be good.

It was like it was calling my name. I approached with a determined stride. I had heard tale of some of the things single mothers were able to do with avocados, _{I was pretty sure it had been avocados…} and now it was my turn ti try it out!

Combat Mode

Suddenly, it felt like I was in an action movie. I could almost hear the dramatic music as I changed my approach. I went from shopping mode to full-on combat mode. I swiftly swapped my casual attire for a sleek, high-performance outfit—complete with elbow pads and a helmet.

In the midst of this grocery store chaos, I maneuvered my cart expertly, dodging other shoppers and their carts. I engaged in intense negotiations with rival moms, who were equally determined to get their hands on that precious fruit. The tension was palpable. My heart raced as I executed evasive maneuvers and strategically blocked opponents - but the angry looking Karen with the bowl cut and sweatpants beat me to it. She swiped it into her cart and hastened off like the bitch that she was!

Stealth Mode

With defeat in the rearview mirror, I realized it was time for a new tactic: stealth mode. I discreetly changed into a dark, stealthy outfit—perfect for blending into the shadows. My mission now was to sneak up on the avocado and steal it from Karen’s cart without being fingered for the deed!

_{I tiptoed through the aisles, my eyes locked on the target.}

I approached the cart with the coveted avocado and executed a flawless, stealthy heist. My hands were steady as I reached for the fruit. It was within my grasp.

Reality Check

Just as I was about to claim my prize, the scene faded. I was jolted back to reality, staring at the other mom who had just checked out with the last avocado in her cart.

Oh well, maybe I could try to shove a cucumber up there instead…

Sometimes, dreams are just a little more exciting than reality. But at least it made for an entertaining daydream - and I had enough time to do a brief photo shoot at the check out…can you believe I got to stand through a shopping cart???

Until next time, fellow moms!
