Today as Finn and I were running errands, he requested we go to The Container Store. I found this to be a hilarious request from a two year old. Once we got to the store, I got a basket to let him ride around in. He decided he didn't want to ride. I let him push the basket. I found a little pouch of bamboo charcoal that is supposed to purify the air. I was reading the back of this in awe as I hear crashing. Finn had accidentally cut the corner too close and drove right into the window display. As fifty to one hundred ( I really don't know how many. It felt like a lot) small plastic containers are tumbling down, he doesn't even stop pushing the basket. He was trying to just push right over them.
For a split second I thought every container in the store was going to come crashing down one by one. It was a perfect illustration of the domino effect. I had to hold in the laughter as to a) not seem disrespectful to the store and b) not teach Finn that hitting things with baskets is hilarious. We set down and started cleaning all the containers up. Two women came to help. They were all very nice. It was a total accident and honestly probably my fault as I should know better than to look away from a 2 year old with a shopping cart.
I decided to put the basket away at this point. Finn wanted to go up the elevator to the second floor. We got in and he pushed the emergency call button. I couldn't get it to turn off. The "cancel call" button was apparently broken. Luckily, despite the loud irritating noises, no one came to our rescue. I ran out quickly and let some poor little unknowing lady get on and take the blame.
At this point I felt pretty obligated to buy something. I got the bamboo air purifying pouch. We will see if it works.
