A Toilet Brush and ...Oreos?

What do these things have in common?
(Don't worry, it's nothing gross.)

Read on to find out:

While doing a little shopping last week, Danny insisted on walking and not being put in the shopping cart. Of course he kept wandering off, and making a big fuss whenever we tried to put him back in. He kept making false promises by saying he'd stay close and then run off. So, in an effort to make for a nicer shopping experience we figured we'd teach him a lesson

As soon as he wandered off, we hid from him. I know this sounds mean but someone (Rachele) gave us this advice and they said it really works. Of course we were keeping an eye on him just in case. He was totally oblivious that he was missing and decided to do a little shopping for himself. This is what he ended up with,

It was so funny watching him go up and down the isles. You can tell he made a real conscious effort in what he was choosing to buy. Well let me rephrase. He made a conscious effort with the toilet brush. He just stood there looking at all of them for a while and then got the one in the picture. The Oreos, however, just so happened to catch his eye as he was walking down the isle. He did a double take and walked back to get them. You just have to wonder what goes through their heads!!

Anyway, after the Oreos, he started to get bored and realized we were no where to be found, and started to panic a little, then cry. That's when we swooped in to save him, and...it worked. He stayed close to us for the rest of our shopping!
