The adventures of Savvy..there's more where this came from

So we're at Target (I'm beginning to see a trend here), and I'm pushing Benjamin in my cart while Holly has her two children plus Savvy in her cart. We separated for awhile to do our individual shopping and I found this little blue dress and thought it would be darling on Savannah, so I decided to locate Holly and see if Savannah liked the dress. Well, it would be an understatement to say that she liked it. Upon showing her the dress, Savannah wanted to hold it right away, so I gave it to her and parted company once more to grab a couple more items. Five minutes hadn't passed when I got a phone call from Holly that went something like this:

Holly: Uh, I thought you should know that your child has taken off all of her clothes and is standing naked (with nothing but a diaper) in my cart. I turned around for two seconds and I heard a little girl saying(while pointing to Savannah), "Mommy, that little girl doesn't have her shirt on!" as the little girl's mother tried to shush her.

Me (giggling): I'm coming. Where are you?

Holly(with notable embarrassment): I'm by the Valentine's candy. You better get here soon.

By the time I found the foursome, Savannah was no longer naked. She had managed to put on the little blue sundress and was proudly standing in Holly's cart. Luckily, we were able to take the dress off just long enough for the cashier to scan the tag and return it to its rightful owner. However that didn't happen without a fair amount of high pitched screaming that caused my blood pressure to sky rocket and confirmed my belief that unless you've actually been the parent to the screaming, out of control child, you cannot, and must not judge them. Whew, I have a feeling this is only the beginning.

It gets worse. Much worse. NEVER go with my children to Target. There isn't enough Prozac on the planet.

I have been there many, many times! Both my girls are "naked babies", which means that once they decided it is time to strip, they go for it. I haven't had it happen in public.....yet!
Great story!
