See this:
You'll be amused to know that today while shopping I bumped my cart into a lovely display of Scotch tape. The entire display fell over and literally about 300 rolls of Scotch tape tumbled to the floor. I had my post-surgery sister with me who can't bend over or squat. The girl can barely walk. This was a big outing for her. And I had McKenna buckled into one of those baby carrier front packs, so couldn't bend over either. So I stood there, while lots of people tried to maneuver their carts around us, not offering a bit of help, and Abby and Christian cleaned up the whole thing. Nate was busy creating his own little scene. Abby and Christian were so great about it. They kept trying to see who could pick up the most rolls of tape at a time. It seriously took them about 15 min. to get it all cleaned up, but they did it without one complaint and they didn't even seem to notice all the annoyed, less than helpful people milling around us!

lol, sorry but i couldn't help but laugh. i think that it's very sad in today's world that no one was willing to lend a hand. aren't we suppose to be servants?!
Oh my! One day you'll be able to laugh when you look at a tape dispenser! :)Don't you love when you get stares from people and no one offers to help!
yikes I think I would have run and hide. well it could have been worse it could have been the soup tower they used to do back in the day all the cans falling over and rolling down the isles. :)
i can't believe no one offered to help! good grief! i'm sure the kids enjoyed the challenge!!!
