Grocery shopping

For an hour before we went grocery shopping today, she worked on making a shopping list. I've never seen one of her lists actually show up in the grocery aisle. But she was working extra-hard at it this time. When we got to the store she started asking me if we were out of stuff. I asked her about the list and she looked at me like she didn't know what I was talking about. The produce section is extremely stressful because we have every kind of fruit and vegetable rotting at home, and she always wants to buy more. Last time I didn't say anything, which means we now have stuff in two stages of decomposing. This time I put my foot down, which is upsetting to both of us. Adam was with us and even he said he didn't like me talking to Grammy like that.

When we got home she asked if we had bought eggs. I said no. She said that was bad news, because we only had two eggs left. I told her those were eggs Annie bought when she was here in October. She was horrified at that, but I said Annie would be here tomorrow night, and she would throw out everything she recognized from two months ago and then go to the grocery store and start over.
