We made it to the grocery store the other day...finally. Ross was unpacking some groceries, I was in the living room with the kiddos and our conversation went something like this: Ross: Why did you buy more hot chocolate? We have tons of it! Me: (I yell back from the living room) Because I wanted mint hot chocolate. I have been craving it. Ross: This isn't mint. Me: Yes it is. Ross: No it isn't. Me: (Marching to kitchen to prove my right-ness and points at word "mint") ...
