I have decided that, though his escapades were no doubt impressive, they have nothing on my own personal heroic struggles. No, I have done better: I have taken my kids to the supermarket and lived to tell the tale. Letting your kids run wild like organic free-range chickens is hardly an option, but then the trolley is equally a disaster. Generally speaking, I avoid bringing my kids to the supermarket like a plague. Nobody can understand my struggle; I have seen things no human should see; I have looked disaster in the eye and lived to tell the tale.
